Sara Johns Griffen: The Hudson Valley Scenic Landscape
One of America’s most prominent
landscape painters, Frederic Church immortalized the Hudson River Valley
in luminous paintings inspired by the scenic beauty he saw as a student
working with his mentor Thomas Cole, and later from his home, Olana.
Sara Johns Griffen, president of the Olana Partnership and vice chair of
the Hudson River Valley Greenway Conservancy, offers a look at
the breathtaking scenery that inspired a new school of painting, the
role of the Hudson River School painters in environmental causes, and
the efforts made by Olana and others to preserve this majestic landscape
for the present and future.
This lecture is sponsored by the University at Albany and the University
at Albany Foundation.
