Jasper F. Cropsey Lecture at Hermitage

Romanticism and pride in America's unspoiled natural beauty were key themes in the paintings of the Hudson River School artists of the nineteenth century.

In this illustrated lecture, Dr. Kenneth W. Maddox, art historian at the Newington-Cropsey Foundation in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, will discuss the work of the Hudson River School painter Jasper F. Cropsey and the values inherent in the genre.
