"Jervis McEntee and the Hudson River School of Art" with Professor Kerry Dean Carso
9pm
This illustrated lecture will serve as an introduction to the Hudson River School, a group of nineteenth-century American landscape painters. The Hudson River School was part of the larger movement of Romanticism that exalted in natural scenes as a response to the Industrial Revolution. The lecture will focus on the Kingston artist Jervis McEntee and examine his place within the context of nineteenth-century technological progress and the Romantic lure of nature.
