Descriptive Note
Text: This monumental view of the Hudson
River Valley was painted from memory in the artist's
London studio. Cropsey adopted a high vantage point,
looking southeast toward the distant Hudson River
and the flank of Storm King Mountain. A small stream
leads from the foreground, where three hunters and
their dogs gaze into the sunlight. All along the meandering
tributary there are signs of man's peaceful coexistence
with nature.
