The Hudson River School emerged during the second quarter of the 19th-century in New York City, when a group of artists forged the first self-consciously “American” landscape vision, embracing the natural world as a source of spiritual renewal and as an expression of national identity. Their works constituted the nation's first homegrown art; they initially painted views along the Hudson River and its environs, and later expanded to the newly opened West and beyond. The New-York Historical Society's collection of Hudson River School paintings holds some of the nation's great treasures of the period.
