Moonlit landscape by washington allston

This painting is a very beautiful image of the America Midwest in 1809. The image is of a peaceful night with a fullmoon. It is a very relaxing picture that makes the viewer feel at peace. It is now in the Museam of Fine arts in boston and is 21x31 inches

Romanticism in American Art

Reading about Asher Durand can help you understand what he was trying to accomplish in the painting "Kindred Spirits," formerly exhibited in the New York Public library. Today's blog is for you to find another painting in the American Romantic tradition, post it on your blog and describe its Romantic aspects.
(some of these may include benevolent aspect of Nature, the individual, concern with feeling more than with some message or idea, classical antiquity of Greece or Rome, and death.)
For some explanationbs , see Hudson River School.
