In no era in the history of Western art have so many artists invested so much thought and passion in the depiction of the physical conditions of the world as the nineteenth century. This volume is filled with spectacular landscape paintings by the Hudson River school artists Bierstadt (Lake Lucerne), Church (Morning in the Tropics), Cole, and Durand. Numerous marine paintings, Heade's view of nature, several portraits by Eakins, and Homer's critically acclaimed Breezing Up (A Fair Wind) are included as well, thoughtfully presented and richly illustrated.
