The Hudson River school was the first coherent school of American art, the Hudson River painters, helped to shape the mythos of the American landscape. Beginning with the works of Thomas Cole (1801-1848) and Asher B. Durand (1796-1886) and evolving into the Luminist and late Romantic schools, landscape painting was the prevalent genre of 19th century American art. Hudson River school pairings reflect three themes of America in the 19" century: discovery, exploration, and settlement. The paintings also depict the American landscape as a pastoral setting, where human beings and nature coexist peacefully. Their later works are often described as Luminism, which is characterized by effects of light in landscapes, poetic atmosphere, often sublime, through the use of aerial perspective and ae of visible brushstrokes. udson River School landscapes are known for their realistic and detailed portrayal of nature. In general, Hudson River School artists believed that nature itself was an ineffable manifestation of God, though the artists varied in the depth of their religious conviction.
