The guy painted amazing, illuminated scenes LONG before that other Thomas what's his name.
The grahics are work-safe. They're thumbnails, but there's a lot of them. But so worth looking at.

Hudson River school paintings reflect three themes of America in the 19th century: discovery, exploration, and settlement. The paintings also depict the American landscape as a pastoral setting, where human beings and nature coexist peacefully.
