Item Details

A Thomas Doughty reproduction landscape oil painting of a Hudson River view with Catskill Mountains framing the river and a towering tree to the center.

The piece is marked reproduction Thomas Doughty, and is finished in a gilt carved frame. Thomas Doughty was an American artist of the Hudson River School. Born in Philadelphia, Thomas Doughty was the first American artist to work exclusively as a landscapist and was successful both for his skill and the fact that Americans were turning their interest to landscape. He was known for his quiet, often atmospheric landscapes of the rivers and mountains of Pennsylvania, New York, New England, and especially the Hudson River Valley.
