The great landscape painters of nineteenth-century America are little known in Europe, yet their work includes many of the most extraordinary landscapes of the time.publiarq.com This catalogue is published to accompany a ground-breaking exhibition at Tate Britain of over 90 of these impressive works, and concentrates on the classic period of the 'Hudson River' painters and other artists with similar interests, from about 1820 to 1880. This was a period of massive change in the rapidly-expanding United Statesm, and painters were faced with the challenge of representing new and awesome scenes, and imbuing them with religious and aesthetic signigicance. Essays by Andrew Wilton and Tim Barringer look at the work of such painters as Thomas Cole, Jasper Francis Cropsey, Fitz Hugh Lane and Frederic Edwin Church. 115 colour and 45 black-and-white illustrations.publiarq.com
