Beginning around 1825, American art finally came into its own with the Hudson River School movement. The rocky landscapes, pebbly lakes, and rolling hills of the Hudson River Valley seemed to come alive on the canvases of American landscape painters as it dawned on them that a wealth of inspiration had been just outside their doorsteps, waiting patiently to be noticed. Over the next fifty years, as troops of artists, poets, and writers ventured through forests, fields, and creeks in an attempt to connect with nature, the paintings and work that they produced helped to give a voice to an emerging American identity.
