Beautiful paintings and prints, ETL. Love the Hudson River School painters.

Kaaterskill Falls is a must-see if you're ever in the area of North Lake in the Catskill Mountains of New York. It's a mile or so from the lake, and there are two spectacular views of it, one from the top, the other from beneath, following a beautiful but slightly challenging creek-side hike. Dying to go back up there again! It's been a few years. The geology is equally fascinating, at least to people like me who are into that sort of thing.

"Kaaterskill Falls is a two-drop waterfall located near in the eastern Catskill Mountains of New York, on the north side of Kaaterskill Clove, between the hamlets of Haines Falls and Palenville in Greene County's Town of Hunter. The dual cascades total 260 feet (79 m) in height, making it one of the higher waterfalls in New York, and one of the Eastern United States' taller waterfalls.

The falls are one of America's oldest tourist attractions, with it appearing in some of the most prominent books, essays, poems and paintings of the early 19th century. Long before Alexis de Tocqueville's famous essay on America, Kaaterskill Falls was lauded as a place where a traveler could see a wilder image, a sort of primieval Eden. Beginning with Thomas Cole's first visit in 1825, they became an icon subject for painters of the Hudson River School, setting the wilderness ideal for American landscape painting. The Falls also inspired "Catterskill Falls", a poem by William Cullen Bryant."

Truly beautiful.

"Kindred Spirits (1849) is perhaps the best known painting of Hudson River School painter Asher Durand. It depicts the recently deceased painter Thomas Cole and his friend the poet William Cullen Bryant in the Catskill Mountains. The landscape, which combines geographical features like Fawns Leap [1] in Kaaterksill Clove and a minuscule depiction of Kaaterskill Falls, is not a literal record of a particular site but an idealized memory of Thomas Cole's discovery of the region more than twenty years prior to the canvas's execution."

Don't forget Thomas Moran. These artists brought the unsettled west back to the cities of the east, providing a large part of the impetus to move west.

This is one of my favorite Bierstadts. I love the space implicit in the painting:
