About the piece

Painted by James McDougal Hart circa 1855, this masterwork exemplifies the Hudson River School's celebration of the American wilderness. The composition masterfully leads the eye from a shadowed foreground of ancient trees and textured rocks into a luminous, atmospheric valley where the Catskill Creek winds toward hazy, blue-tinted mountain peaks.
