Hudson River School Lecture
March 3, 2016 @ 7:00 pm
In the first half of the 19th century, a group of like-minded painters, poets and writers working in New York developed a distinctive vision of the American landscape that came to be known as the Hudson River School. Elizabeth Mankin Kornhauser, Alice Pratt Brown Curator of American Paintings and Sculpture at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, will talk about how these powerful landscape interpretations shaped our national and cultural identity and how they demonstrated an early awareness of the value of preserving natural sites for future generations.
The program takes place Thursday, March 3 at the Greenwich Historical Society. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for light refreshments, lecture begins at 7 p.m. Members are $15, nonmembers $20. The program is free of charge to teachers, student and Patron Level members.
