Tennessee 1866

"Tennessee" (1866) by Alexander H. Wyant is a landscape painting that exemplifies the Hudson River School style. The painting depicts a panoramic view of a river winding through a verdant valley, with a dramatic, almost stormy sky above. The artist's meticulous detail and naturalistic approach capture the beauty of the American wilderness, a common theme in Hudson River School paintings. The painting's expansive composition and rich colors evoke a sense of tranquility and awe, inviting the viewer to appreciate the grandeur of nature. The work is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
