Treasures from the Minnesota Marine Art Museum Vault
The Recorded River Environment: In the middle of the 19th century, Hudson River School artists like Thomas Cole, Frederic Church, Joseph Meeker and John Kensett carried with them a romantic view of nature – even a spiritual one. As America expanded west, the prevalence of “Manifest Destiny,” which was a mentality that European-American settlers were destined to colonize across America, reinforced this romantic view of America’s wilderness. Artists like these, and many artists of today, also record the world around them as they see it, even if that recording comes with romantic notions and decisions affected by personal experiences.
