Extractions: Hudson River School During the Mid-19th century, the period of Romanticism and Transcendentalists, Thomas Cole founded the Hudson River School. This was the first school of painting in the United States. Located in Northern New York by the Hudson River, the paintings focused on the nature and wilderness of the surrounding area. Each picture includes extreme detail of nature to show human emotions. Some artists include: Thomas Cole, Albert Bierstadt, John Casilear, David Johnson, and Sanford Gifford. Generations of artists have come and gone and each brought their own flavor. Soon, the artists wanted to change their landscapes and paint areas in the West, including: the Rocky Mountains, the Mississippi River, and the Grand Canyon. All were done with hard work and great beauty. In the time when nature, emotion, and expression of feeling showed, there was the Hudson River School paintings to bring out these such characteristics of the Mid-19th century. http://digimuse.usc.edu/landscapes/Cole.htm http://dfl.highlands.com/DFL_Painters/109.html http://digimuse.usc.edu/landscapes/Bierstadt.htm http://digimuse.usc.edu/landscapes/Moran.htm ... http://digimuse.usc.edu/landscapes/Durand.htm LINKS http://www.artlex.com/ArtLex/Ho.html

Extractions: Visitors to the Mansion at the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park will find a surprising variety of nineteenth and twentieth century art and artifacts. The collection includes household furnishings, fine and decorative arts and family mementos. There is an item associated with George Perkins Marsh in the house as well, a silver-headed cane acquired from his widow. Frederick Billings purchased Marsh's personal library in 1882, out of admiration for him as well as a means of supporting his widowed wife, Caroline, and a year later Billings donated and constructed a new library to house Marsh's collection at the University of Vermont. The furnishings and family mementos are significant both for their historical associations and their value as examples of American art, design and cultural history. A Tiffany stained glass window in the music room, entitled "Passing the Torch" is symbolic of an intergenerational commitment to conservation by the Marsh, Billings and Rockefeller families.

Extractions: H udson River School - A group of American landscape painters of the mid-nineteenth century, who took a Romantic approach to depicting the Hudson River Valley, and of the Catskill, Berkshire, and White Mountains, as well as lands further west. As the American frontier moved westward, the Hudson River painters' views of this expanding territory found an enthusiastic audience . Their pictures were often brashly theatrical, embracing moral or literary associations. Many painters of this school were influenced by their reading of a book, Essay on the Nature and Principles of Taste by Archibald Alison. In his book Alison claims that the beauty and grandeur of unspoiled nature can inspire good moral qualities.

Extractions: by Louise Minks. "Writing of Claude Lorrain, an artist against whom the Hudson River painters measured themselves on their excursions abroad, Roger Fry said, "Claude's view of landscape is false to nature in that it is entirely anthropocentric. His trees exist for pleasant shade; his peasants to give us the illusion of pastoral life, not to toil for a living. His world is not to be lived in, only to be looked at in a mood of pleasing melancholy or suave revery." But I wonder if there ever was a form of landscape painting that is not "false" in this sense. The landscapes we represent are in effect texts in which our feelings and beliefs about nature, and hence about ourselves as inside and outside nature, are inscribed. According to Wen Fong, Travelers in a Wintry Forest These were works of high Romanticism, illustrations, so to speak, of texts such as Coleridge's "Frost at Midnight":

The origins of the Hudson River School traditionally are attributed to Thomas Cole, who was born in England and raised in Ohio before arriving in New York City in 1825. Cole was a more cerebral painter than his predecessors, and he used his art as a moral as well as aesthetic platform. Breaking from the traditional European taste for manicured pastoral views, Cole depicted the virginal, primeval wilderness of the American northeast. It was a paradise already lost, however, for Native Americans had been chased from their lands, white settlements had been long established, and tourism was beginning to boom. Wadsworth introduced 17-year-old Hartford native and aspiring artist Frederic Church to Thomas Cole, who made Church his sole apprentice. Wadsworth then purchased Church's first mature painting

Extractions: Home Page Lighthouses and the Mighty Hudson From the moment of Hendrik Hudson's trip up the mighty river until today, the Hudson River is one of the most important commercial and recreational rivers in America. Hundreds of cargo ships ply its waters and thousands of pleasure craft skip along its waves. The majestic Hudson transports the goods of America from the inland ports out to the greatest deep water port in the country, New York Harbor. In the early history of the continent, great sailing ships drove the economy of the Colonies as they transported goods from the frontiers of North America down the Hudson to England and beyond. As America became a nation, the mighty Hudson became the central battleground of the Revolution, with the pivotal battle of the Revolution being fought on its banks in Saratoga. With America growing and its economy booming, the connection between the Hudson River and the western inland territories was made with the Erie Canal and commercial shipping traffic exploded. Even today in this age of instant air travel the Hudson serves as the primary commercial artery between the Port of New York and the regions upstate. Great barges and tankers filled with goods travel up and down the river keeping the Empire State moving and thriving. The traditions of industry first established in America on the banks of the Hudson continue to thrive feeding the Hudson with a continual flow of goods going to market.

In total there were some fourteen lighthouses built including two at the Rondout Creek in Kingston and a post light with a fog bell at Danskammer Point. There were also numerous other post lights up and down the river. These were kept by "lamplighters". Today only seven lighthouses remain. LIGHTHOUSES OF THE PAST STUYVESANT LIGHTHOUSE COXSACKIE LIGHTHOUSE The Coxsackie Lighthouse was established in 1830 and discontinued in 1939. It was replaced by a skeleton tower and then torn down. In 1890 a post light was erected about a half mile down river with the keeper being responsible for it. One day in 1923, Keeper McDougal was attending to the post light when it gave way, throwing him into the cold waters of the river. Fortunately for him, he was spotted by the captain of a Standard Oil tugboat clinging to the bow of his skiff and thus rescued from a certain death. The same ice jam which had caused damage to the Stuyvesant Lighthouse in 1902 also took its toll on the Coxsackie Light, taking out its north wall, some foundation stones and washing away the station's outhouses. Repairs were completed by that summer. FOUR MILE POINT LIGHTHOUSE Four Mile Point Lighthouse was establashed in 1831 and discontinued in 1928 when it was replaced by a skeleton tower near the waters edge. Little is known about the history of this light. It was built high up on a bluff overlooking a section of shallow mud flats on the river. The original stone tower was replaced in 1880 by a twenty-five foot iron tower. Nothing of either tower remains today and there is no evidence that there was ever a lighthouse on the site.
