Lecture II – Part of the 2009 Fellows’ Summer Lecture Series:
The Hudson River Valley: An Allegory of its Architecture, Landscape and Artistic Legacy, 400 Years After the Voyage of the Half Moon
Sponsored by P.E. Guerin, Inc.
Beginning early in the 19th century, New York printmakers, artists, and writers served the growing taste among urban elites for picturesque touring that capitalized on sites and scenery accessible along the course of the Hudson River and in the nearby Catskills. Linda Ferber, PhD, Executive Vice President & Museum Director of the New-York Historical Society, will speak about how the varieties of imagery evolving from this cultural and commercial enterprise generated a vision and an iconography of American landscape that reached far beyond the Hudson River Valley and is still embraced today.
