You’re welcome. My favorite HRS artists, of the ones I’m familiar with, are Albert Bierstadt, Edwin Church, and Thomas Duran. But, as you both I’m sure know, there are many other incredible landscape painters associated with this school.

The images are wonderful, but seeing any of these HRS paintings in person is breathtaking. It is hard to believe that human hands created these beautiful images (well they are reflecting God's creation). It truly is a "lost art".

Correction to my post 4: "My favorite HRS artists, of the ones I’m familiar with, are Albert Bierstadt, Edwin Church, and Thomas Duran."

Thomas Duran = Asher B. Durant

Got him mixed up with another HRS favorite of mine, Thomas Moran

Bierstadt was someone whose work stuck in my mind as a young teen. There is a cafe in Granby, Colorado that when I was 13 in the early 60s had a great compliment of framed prints of his work. I took my sons back there over 25 years later, found the cafe without knowing for sure what town it was in and most of the prints were still on the wall.

Saw some magnificent work of his in a SF gallery that was completely different — I will look it up.
