American Landscapes from the New York Historical Society

In the early to mid-1800s, the expansive landscapes of New York State’s Hudson River Valley and adjacent areas, such as the Catskill, Adirondack, and White Mountains, inspired a remarkably talented group of American artists, who came to be known as the Hudson River School. These artists extolled the majesty of the American wilderness and the idea of living in harmonious balance with nature.
 
Hudson River School artists also journeyed beyond New York State to other regions noted for scenic beauty, such as New Hampshire, coastal New England, the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia as well as to Europe and South America. Many of the places revered by the Hudson River School artists are now national parks, state wilderness preserves, and historic sites. This exhibition celebrates the Hudson River School artists and their depiction of the poetic beauty of nature and the American landscape.
 
The exhibition runs from June 14 – September 22, 2024 at the Munson, 310 Genesee Street, Utica, NY 13502.
