Lake George, New York 1872

"Lake George, New York" is a Hudson River School landscape painting created by John Frederick Kensett in 1872. The painting depicts a serene scene of Lake George, New York, with a tranquil body of water framed by rolling hills, lush foliage and a single rocky island. The painting, notable for its soft light and atmospheric effects, is a prime example of the Hudson River School’s emphasis on capturing the beauty of the American wilderness and is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
