Painting the American Vision on view at the Peabody Essex Museum until Nov. 6, 2011
"I have found, though, no natural scenery yet which has affected me so powerfully as that which I have seen in the wilderness places of America." -Thomas Cole (1836)
This was such an incredible exhibit with 45 glorious landscape paintings from rich forests, to sunsets and mountains.
To me, the most incredible features of this exhibit was the mastery of light and reflection in the paintings. It was nice to see such detailed accounts of New Hampshire and New York countryside.
Definitelyworth the trip up to Salem by November 6th.
