 | Sunday Afternoon, Berkshire County, Mass. 1857 Harvard University Art Museums Cambridge, MA | Hart, James McDougal | GA | |
 | Village Scene near Albany, New York 1850 Smithsonian American Art Museum Washington, D.C. | Hart, James McDougal |  This image shows a small town to the west of James M. Hart’s home in Albany, New York. He preferred to paint intimate views of country life, rather than dramatic vistas of the wilderness, to show that man and nature could coexist in peace. In Village Scene, the comforting view of farm life, with its children, grazing cows, and picturesque... | GA |
 | Landscape with Cattle 1872 St. Johnsbury Athenaeum St. Johnsbury, VT | Hart, James McDougal | This quiet idyll is typical of the post-Civil War paintings of James Hart. A herd of cattle, trailing into the distance at the left, leads the viewer's eye from the foreground back to the rural village in the distance in a lyric style and nostalgic sensibility that evoke the approaches of the French Barbizon painters of mid-century. | GA |
 | Marine and Cattle 1884 St. Johnsbury Athenaeum St. Johnsbury, VT | Hart, James McDougal | This composition by James M. Hart illustrates how the artist's pastoral art developed during his later career. The paintings soft, tonal brushwork and expansive space almost diametrically oppose the crisp specificity of his early work. | GA |
 | Under the Elms 1872 St. Johnsbury Athenaeum St. Johnsbury, VT | Hart, James McDougal | Under the Elms is characteristic of Hart's work after the Civil War. Where he favored larger-scale depictions of unexplored wilderness in his earlier work, his later paintings are often more tranquil and refined. | GA |
 | Among Friends 1876 Private collection: Robert P. Coggins Marietta, GA | Hart, James McDougal | GA | |
 | Hazy Morning 1867 Private Collection Unknown, USA | Hart, James McDougal | GA | |

 | A Quiet Nook 1885 Smithsonian American Art Museum Washington, D.C. | Hart, William | GA | |
 | An Autumn Day 1865 St. Johnsbury Athenaeum St. Johnsbury, VT | Hart, William | The earliest of three paintings by William Hart in the Athenaeum's collection, An Autumn Day appears to portray Whiteface Mountain in New York's Adirondack Mountains. The peaceful scene depicts the pristine American landscape with deer wading quietly in the foreground river. Whereas many of William Hart's landscapes represent the impact of man on the... | GA |
 | Autumn Morning 1876 St. Johnsbury Athenaeum St. Johnsbury, VT | Hart, William | GA | |
 | Summer - The Passing Shower 1873 St. Johnsbury Athenaeum St. Johnsbury, VT | Hart, William | William Hart's Summer—The Passing Shower offers a charming pendant for his later Autumn Morning. Here, his depiction of a sudden summer rain storm provides an opportunity to explore varying effects of light and shadow falling across the landscape. The rain does not disrupt the peacefulness of the scene, however, as the cattle in the foreground, the... | GA |

 | York Harbor, Coast of Maine 1877 Art Institute of Chicago Chicago, IL | Heade, Martin Johnson | Restricted gift of Mrs. Herbert A. Vance; Americana, Lacy Armour and Roger McCormick endowments; through prior gifts of Dr. and Mrs. R. Gordon Brown, Emily Crane Chadbourne, George F. Harding Collection, Brooks McCormick, and James S. Pennington | GA |

 | Newburyport Meadows oil on canvas Metropolitan Museum of Art New York, NY | Heade, Martin Johnson | GA | |
 | Approaching Thunder Storm 1859 Metropolitan Museum of Art New York, NY | Heade, Martin Johnson | GA | |
 | Rocks in New England 1855 Museum of Fine Arts Boston, MA | Heade, Martin Johnson | GA | |
 | April Showers 1868 Museum of Fine Arts Boston, MA | Heade, Martin Johnson | Unlike Heade's unusual choice of the marshes, this landscape is a more traditional one, but he portrayed the passing effects of a rain shower in a highly original fashion. He minimized the contrast of values and loosened his paint handling to suggest the transient effects of light and atmosphere, something he would explore in depth in his marsh scenes. | GA |
 | The Stranded Boat 1863 Museum of Fine Arts Boston, MA | Heade, Martin Johnson | A masterful evocation of the coast shrouded in fog, this painting deviates from the typical horizontal emphasis of Heade's seascapes and marshes. The title, probably not original, is misleading, as the boat has been carefully beached and secured to a stake on the shore. | GA |

 | Catskills August 1873 Brooklyn Museum New York, NY | Johnson, David | This drawing of a gnarled tree growing over boulders contains passages of both meticulous deliberation and charming spontaneity. It appears that the artist took a quick break from the primary scene to sketch another subject in the upper right corner of the sheet. With a few economical strokes of his pencil and brush, he created the barest outline of... | GA |

Yellowstone was Moran's ultimate destination in the summer of 1871, but before he reached the land of geysers and hot springs, he stepped off the train in Green River, Wyoming, and discovered a landscape unlike any he had ever seen.
