The Beeches, Asher Durand, 1845

This is a reproduction of “The Beeches” of 1845 by Asher Brown Durant.  This American artist of the Hudson River School was born in 1796.  By the time he was twenty-seven he had a reputation as one of the nation’s finest engravers.  Encouraged by a patron, he began to paint in 1830 and within seven years he was focusing on landscapes with his friend Thomas Cole.  They and others embarked in the creation of the Hudson River School which believed that Nature is the ineffable manifestation of God.  Durand died at the age of ninety.  The original painting is 60 3/8 x 48 1/8 inches and is currently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City.
