| Description |  |
The preeminence of landscape painters was established by the production of Thomas Cole (often called "the father of the Hudson River School"), and by the works of Thomas Doughty and Asher B. Durand. Guided by fervent nationalism and the religious conviction that depecting the landscape helped reveal the presence of Godin nature, these pioneer landscapists captured the glowing face of nature in their paintings as American (and occasionalyy, the Eurepeen) countryside. |
