About the piece

Painted in 1862, this panoramic work by Robert S. Duncanson showcases the Hudson River School's influence through its vast scale and tranquil, light-filled atmosphere. The composition leads the eye across the earthy foreground to the still waters of the lake, framed by the gentle bluffs of the Minnesota river valley.
