Set Description and Contents:

Throughout the history of the United States, the American wilderness has been central to forming a uniquely American identity. In American painting this was expressed through landscapes, which became popular after 1825. Learn how a group of artists known as the Hudson River School embraced the nostalgia of a rapidly disappearing frontier during the Industrial Revolution.

Sample Text
The movement now called the Hudson River School came to embody the ideals sought by Americans in views of their country. It is so named because many of the artists did landscapes up and down the length of the Hudson River in New York. It was these scenes that formed the kernel for the flowering of American landscape paintings. Many of these artists also did landscapes all over New England and New York. In the 1860s, the urge to present the grandeur and awesome beauty of the newly opened western territories led many of the Hudson River School artists to go to the West.
