"From Shifting Shade" (1887) by James M. Hart (1828-1901) is a quintessential example of the Hudson River School's style of landscape painting. The oil on canvas depicts a pastoral scene, showcasing a herd of cows grazing in a sun-dappled meadow. Hart's signature meticulous detail is evident in the individual cows and the lush vegetation. This particular scene captures the serene beauty of the American countryside, a popular subject for artists of the Hudson River School. The painting is currently on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
