Junction of the Sacandaga and Hudson Rivers (No. 2 of The Hudson River Portfolio) 1821 - 1822

"Junction of the Sacandaga and Hudson Rivers (No. 2 of The Hudson River Portfolio)" is an aquatint print by John Hill depicting a landscape scene in the Hudson River Valley. The 1821-22 print features a view of the confluence of two rivers, with a winding dirt road in the foreground. The scene is rendered with a painterly style, capturing the picturesque beauty of the natural world. The work is part of a series of prints called "The Hudson River Portfolio," a collection of views of the Hudson River region. These prints contributed to the developing genre of American landscape painting and fostered a national pride in the American landscape. Today, the print is held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
