DescriptionRenowned as one of America’s finest portrait painters, Huntington also painted numerous allegorical and historical landscapes. A peaceful, idyllic work, “The Upper Hudson” depicts a boating scene on the Hudson River on a summer or fall afternoon. Huntington’s use of soft brushstrokes and subdued colors accentuates the tranquility and purity of the setting. His careful handling of the clouds’ textures demonstrates his keen interest in the effects of atmosphere and light on nature.On View
