Beginning in the early 19th century, the American landscape became a significant theme for artists. American painters chronicled the vast wilderness that was America and the boundless prospects. When the expansion pushed westward, they recorded the disappearing landscape and the expanding cityscape. This exhibition showcases American landscape paintings from the Museum’s collection. One of the featured paintings is a George Inness landscape. George Inness taught Louis Comfort Tiffany at Eaglewood Military and became a mentor to Tiffany.
