American Landscapes: The Hudson River School (51SP26)

April 8–May 13, 2026
6 weeks, Wednesdays,

Taught by: Roxana Aparicio Wolfe

Called “America’s first true artistic movement”, the Hudson River School came to define a uniquely American aesthetic by showcasing the country’s majestic landscapes. Influenced by Romanticism and Spiritualism, their work explored key notions of 19th-century national identity, westward expansion, and environmental awareness— while establishing America as a ‘New World Eden’. Join us for a closer look at these incredible artists, including gallery activities.
