The Mountain Stream n.d.

"The Mountain Stream" by George Baxter is a Romantic landscape that depicts a lush tropical scene. The artwork, housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, features a winding stream flowing through a verdant valley, its waters cascading over rocks and creating a sense of tranquility. Lush foliage and vibrant flora, including palm trees and ferns, surround the stream, highlighting the beauty and abundance of nature. This picturesque portrayal of a tropical paradise reflects the fascination with exotic landscapes prevalent during the 19th century.
