Title

Storm King on the Hudson

Description

Picturesque massif on the Hudson River has earned its name due to frequently being mantled with dramatic clouds. This feature made it a favorite subject of 19th-century painters. Colman's composition is quite complex, however, since it renders both primeval nature and a rapidly industrializing American--taking the form of rafted steamboats spewing smoke.
