Folk Art Hudson River Landscape
oil on canvas
circa 1870
39 1/2 in. by 57 in.
While the whimsical scale, activity, and vibrant colors of this large scale folk art painting imply that the scene is fantastical, a potential locale or inspiration for this painting may be the east bank of the Chapel at Cold Spring on the Hudson River. The chapel exhibits similar Greco-Roman Temple architecture, and the barracks at West Point can seen in the distance.
