The Hudson River School 1825-1875 The Hudson River School was a mid-19th century American art movement founded by Thomas Cole in 1825. The style was influenced by European romanticism. The artists shared common design aesthetics uniting them as a school despite their distinctive styles. The painters focused on the American wilderness, particularly the Hudson River Valley as well as the Catskill Mountains and Adirondack Mountains. The paintings were spectacular and dramatic reflecting the wilderness environment. The artists moved their studios out of doors and sketched directly from nature focusing on the details in the natural landscape. Many paintings depict a perilous rugged land, dramatic sunrise or ominous storm clouds brewing in the distance. The works were breathtakingly majestic and celebrate Gods divinely inspired handiwork.
