 | 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.

 | Marine and Cattle 1884 St. Johnsbury Athenaeum St. Johnsbury, VT | Hart, James McDougal | This composition by James M.

 | Seconnet Point, Rhode Island ca. 1880 Smithsonian American Art Museum Washington, D.C. | Whittredge, Worthington | Worthington Whittredge traveled to Newport, Rhode Island, in the fall of 1877. He was inspired by the French painter Charles-Francois Daubigny.

In this painting, Whittredge used bright, clean colors and... | Unrated |

 | 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 |

 | Sunset in the Catskills 1862 Brigham Young University, Museum of Fine Arts Provo, UT | Bricher, Alfred Thompson | This tranquil rendering of the sun setting in the Catskill Mountains of New York State creates a vision of the American landscape as a peaceful paradise.

 | The Birches Of The Catskills ca. 1875 Smithsonian American Art Museum Washington, D.C. | Whittredge, Worthington | Worthington Whittredge found it difficult to adjust to painting the New England landscape after almost ten years abroad. He described the forests as “a mass of decaying logs and tangled brush wood” that were completely different from the “well-ordered” European views he was used to. (The Autobiography of Worthington Whittredge, 1942,... | Unrated |

 | 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 |
 | The Top Of Kaaterskill Falls, Autumnn 1866 Private Collection Unknown, USA | Hubbard, Richard William | Description: Panoramic autumn landscape depicting a view looking from the rocky bank of Kaaterskill Falls, past golden yellow and russet trees, and out over rolling hills. | GA |
