Artist Bio:
The Wanderers were a group of American artists active in the mid-19th century who formed an informal association to promote landscape painting. The group included prominent artists like Thomas Cole, Asher Durand, and Frederic Church, who were part of the Hudson River School movement. The Wanderers sought to capture the beauty of the American landscape, particularly the wilderness of the Hudson River Valley and the Catskill Mountains.
The Wanderers played a significant role in shaping American landscape painting and promoting the idea of art as a means of spiritual and moral elevation. Their work often depicted the grandeur of nature and emphasized the sublime aspects of the American wilderness. The Wanderers' influence can still be seen in American landscape painting today, as their legacy continues to inspire artists to explore and celebrate the natural world.
