1 middle-atlantic States 1-3. Storm King of the Hudson Imagine a place without cars, housing additions, or even a McDonald s, where nature s beauty surrounds you and few people have traveled. What would happen to such a place if people began to live there? This was the painter Thomas Cole s concern. detail detail Thomas Cole American ( ) Storm King of the Hudson (also called Storm King on the Hudson) about oil paint on linen canvas Cole s landscapes depicted untouched wilderness that might soon be lost as cities grew and the land was settled. In Storm King of the Hudson, a small figure on the left travels down a path toward us. The worn path gives us hints that this place has been visited before. Look to the right; do you see the cut rocks? Who might have put them there? Look at the sky. Against gathering storm clouds, the steep cliffs and twisted, gnarled trees look threatening. Storm King Mountain, the artist s subject, lies on the west bank of the Hudson River just north of West Point. It got its name because storm clouds seemed to gather there, as in this painting. This painting also shows that the land of the Middle Colonies was rich with growth and rolling hills. Inspired by paintings and writings describing the Hudson River Valley, many people began to travel there to see what authors called, The beauty and spirit of nature. As more tourists sought out the splendid scenery in the Hudson River Valley, some people like Thomas Cole feared the visitors would leave their mark, changing the landscape forever.

2 4. Landscape George Henry Smillie American ( ) Landscape 1870 oil paint on linen canvas In this painting by George Smillie, we see a lone figure emerging from the woods into a peaceful autumn countryside. This landscape depicts the tranquil and beautiful Middle Colonies. Attention to detail was very important to painters of this landscape. What details do you see? Look to the background. Notice the neatly cultivated fields and the small farmhouses. These elements show that people in the Middle Colonies relied on the land for their food, shelter, and clothing. These people were mainly hardworking, self-sufficient farmers. The land of the Middle Colonies was fertile, and rich with forests and rivers. Middle Atlantic Region Another artist who painted the Middle Colonies was Thomas Cole. Do you remember his painting titled The Storm King of the Hudson? Unlike Cole, who emphasized the power of the raw, uncontrollable wilderness, Smillie shows us how people began to control nature through farming and building houses. Do you see any other details in this painting that would suggest that people have been there? What are they? In this painting what natural resources do you see that people could use? What could they do with them? Page 2

3 5. In the Catskills Thomas Doughty American ( ) In the Catskills about oil paint on canvas The Catskill Mountains lie to the west of the Hudson River in southeastern New York. Part of the Appalachian mountain system, the Catskills contain many lakes and tall peaks. With woods, gorges, waterfalls, and hills, the Catskills provided painters with an endless variety of scenic vistas. Thomas Doughty preferred to focus on the peaceful aspects of the American wilderness. When Doughty painted this, he lived in Boston, but he liked to take sketching trips to the Catskill Mountains. In 1836 and 1837 he made several paintings of sites there. In his Catskill paintings, like this one, he usually included water and hazy background hills. He almost always put people in his landscapes often small figures off to one side. Catskill Mountains Area New York State Page 3
