America, 1835 to 1870
The Hudson River School was a group of painters, led by Thomas Cole,
who painted awesomely Romantic images of America's wilderness, in the Hudson
River Valley and also in the newly opened West. The use of light effects,
to dramatically portray such elements as mist and sunsets, developed into
a subspecialty known as Luminism.
In addition to Cole, the best-known practioners of this style were Albert
Bierstadt and Frederic Edwin Church.
