Although known for their large-scale landscapes, Hudson River School artists created many alluring smaller pictures for the interiors of Victorian-era homes. These petite views of nature capture the awe-inspiring grandeur of the American landscape in a more intimate way than their bigger counterparts.
Pittsburgh's Frick Art & Historical Center is displaying 22 small-scale paintings and drawings by 18 American artists, from Asher Durand to George Inness, drawn from the permanent collection of the Newark Museum of Art in New Jersey.
The show runs through September 5.
