The Hudson River School (The Gathering - Travel)

The Hudson River School was a mid-19th century American art movement by a group of landscape painters, whose aesthetic vision was influenced by romanticism. Their paintings depict the Hudson River Valley and the surrounding area, as well as the Catskill Mountains, Adirondack Mountains, and White Mountains of New Hampshire. "School", in this sense, refers to a group of people whose outlook, inspiration, output, or style demonstrates a common thread, rather than a learning institution.

Hudson River School paintings reflect three themes of America in the 19th century: discovery, exploration, and settlement. The paintings also depict the American landscape as a pastoral setting, where human beings and nature coexist peacefully. Hudson River School landscapes are characterized by their realistic, detailed, and sometimes idealized portrayal of nature along with the juxtaposition of colonialism and wilderness. In general, Hudson River School artists believed that nature in the form of the American landscape was an ineffable manifestation of God, though the artists varied in the depth of their religious conviction. They took as their inspiration such European masters as Claude Lorrain, John Constable and J.M.W. Turner, and shared a reverence for America's natural beauty with contemporary American writers such as Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Hey opl1...

You know, sometimes choices have their own significant path and meaning as well.

But one thing is for sure.

This is NOT "a classical greek landscape painting we are talking about".

Namaste: )

G'Day Y'all -- Everybody's entitled to their own preferences. This is a really *outstanding* video presentation, but how about another copy, maybe with Handel's Water Music -- or something of a similar nature -- or Copeland, or Vivaldi, or ??? Plenty of great choices available. Different strokes for different folks, eh ??

Don't be a fool, this is one of the most beautiful songs in the world. I was fortunate enough to hear it live just before Anneke went solo.
