Description: 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.
