 | River Landscape at Sunset ca. 1890 Smithsonian American Art Museum Washington, D.C. | Johnson, David | 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.

 | 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.

 | Sunset c. 1880 Detroit Institute of Arts Detroit, MI | Heade, Martin Johnson | 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 | |

 | 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 |
 | October in the Marshes 1872 Metropolitan Museum of Art New York, NY | Kensett, John Frederick | GA |
