I was going to look up and include the artists' names, and also number each painting for easy referrence, but it quickly became too much work, at least at the moment.

And not all may be by Hudson River School painters, though most are. The founder of the school was Thomas Cole. His are the first three. They are the only ones I listed the artist for.

Need a good sleep about now. So, I hope you can enjoy them just as they are. :)

I always admired Church’s work. My grandfather was the same kind of painter but he died young before he could be recognized. We have one of his paintings, there are a few others out there, but where?

ETL, thanks for going thru the effort of posting these incredible paintings.
All -
It’s fascinating that enlightened western french-german european “artists” came to despise classic painting.
Jealous, these artists started deconstructionist art movement that promoted ugly abstractionism right around the time of Engles, and Marx’s call for collectivism communism.
Man defies god.
Man creates new defiant ugly art paradigm.

Thank you for posting!

The Hudson River School is one of my favorite art genres.
You made my day.

I have always loved these artists. The Hudson River School overlaps the Luminist movement and was the progenitor of the latter.

There is little said about American Art in the schools.

Wow, what a treat!

We have been to the Fredrick Church house several times. It is called Olana and is a great piece of architecture. It is on the Hudson River and is easy to get to. If you enjoy old homes we highly recommend visiting it. If I was a good computer person I would add a picture to this post.

The Thomas Cole Voyage of Life series is a must see for me whenever I’m at the National Gallery of Art. So beautiful and moving. And the older I get the more it speaks to me.

Beautiful stuff. I adapted one of these paintings to create a meme:

I loved the HRS when I was a younger man... I still do to a lesser extent. I recently picked up a used (and signed!) copy of Roland Van Zandt's "Catskill Mountain House;" it is not a book about art, but is nonetheless an excellent read for those interested in a physically small bit of the Catskills that was so important to the movement.
