Hudson River School was a mid-19th century American art movement by a group of landscape painters, whose aesthetic vision was influenced by romanticism .Lake George, the "Queen of American Lakes." The largest lake in New York's Adirondack region, with its placid waters rimmed by majestic mountains, was the perfect inspiration for paintings, that evoked the sublime wilderness, the beautiful, as well as the topographical prospect, the panoramic view, What distinguished Lake George from other popular locations was its place in American history. As the site of several military campaigns during both the French and Indian Wars (1755-1763) and the American Revolution (1775-1781), it captivated the hearts and minds of nineteenth century Americans who were increasingly nostalgic about their history.
This fantastic oil on canvas , has been painted (according to the condition) probably close to 1875 ,and signed by W.R. Johnson , the quality of that work, remembers me the great artists of that period, as John Frederick Kensett, John William Casilear or Martin Johnson Heade .
Measures 36 x 24 inches , without the frame , and it is in very good conditions , however checked with UV light we found 2 small areas of the sky about 3sq. inches recently restored . Shipping within US is $ 95 , including wooden crate and insurance.
