Abstract

landscape painting in the American context emerged in the 19th century along with the philosophical works of Emerson and Thoreau. The literary arts also began to turn toward an examination of the natural world at about this time. American painters, whom had previously been preoccupied with portrait painting - though it is likely fair to say that their clients were rather obsessed with portraits of themselves and their riches - were inspired by the singularly American philosophy of transcendentalism and turned to the painting of landscapes. As art critic Barbara Novak explains: To the transcendental mind, object and idea were one, and all matter was an extension of God. Thus, the landscape artists, and especially the luminists after Copley, could value the smallest fact in nature--the leaf, the pebble in the foreground of a Heade landscape - and embrace also the larger equivalence of God with nature through the infinite space of a Kensett distance or the other-worldly light of a Bierstadt sky.
