Landscapes

Land as painters from China to the Hudson River saw it. Mountains in mist on Chinese silk, Ruisdael's wheat fields under a Dutch sky, Van Gogh's cypresses, Claude's Roman countryside in the evening light, the Barbizon woods, Kensett's Lake George, and Hiroshige's rivers and temple groves. Land as a mood, whichever way it was painted.
