About the piece
In this 1909 work, George Bellows captures the stark beauty of the Hudson River in winter. The composition contrasts the bright, impasto-laden snow of the foreground with the deep, moody blues of the river and the dark, towering Palisades, showcasing the artist's signature vigorous brushwork and dynamic sense of place.
