From the Schuylkill to the Hudson delves into the important and
under-explored tradition of landscape painting in Philadelphia from
the early American Republic (1775) to the Centennial International
Exposition (1876), and how that corpus shaped the better-known
Hudson River School. Examining for the first time Philadelphia's
role in the development of American landscape painting, the book
considers the landscape genre across multiple mediums, including
paintings, watercolors, prints, miniatures and ceramics. Focusing
on the shifting symbolism of local waterways and rivers, the
publication explores how these sites became emblematic of the young
nation's values and narratives. Featuring works drawn from the
collection of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, including
paintings by luminaries such as Thomas Cole, Thomas Doughty and
William Russell Birch, this volume narrates landscape's trajectory
from a contextual tool in American portraiture to a subject in its
own right.
