The Hudson River Painters were biblical artists. This early 19^th century school of American landscape painters sought to express the beauty, light, and truth of the Creator through capturing His creation on their canvases.

American painting has suffered the same fate as American history – its Christian and moral foundations have been covered up, distorted, and lost. This is especially evident with the landscape painters of the nineteenth century.

The prominent painters of the Hudson River School, covering the years 1825-1860, included Frederic Edwin Church, Thomas Cole, Jasper Francis Cropsey, and Asher Brown Durand.

The Christian  nature of these painters is presented in this brief look at the American Landscape Painters. This booklet contains extensive excerpts from Knights of the Brush by James F. Cooper, with editorial comments by Stephen McDowell.
