William Trost Richards
American painter, engraver & printmaker
born 1833 - died 1905

The Adirondack wilderness of New York State was the northernmost outpost in a landscape itinerary that extended south along the narrow mountain valley course of the Hudson River to the more familiar and accessible New York touring and sketching grounds of the Catskills, the Highlands, and the Palisades. The Adirondack mountain range is bounded by Lake George to the south and east and Lake Champlain to the north and east and on the west by the Black River and the Tug Hill Plateau.[1] This is the region in which Thomas Cole (1801 - 1848) found the "wildness" described in his 1835 "Essay on American Scenery" as "perhaps the most impressive characteristic of American scenery."[2] (Fig. 1) Asher B. Durand (1796 - 1886) found his calling as a landscape painter in these mountains on an 1837 expedition with Cole to Schroon Lake. The rich language of Durand's "Letters on Landscape Painting," published in 1855 just as American landscape painter William Trost Richards (1833 - 1905) was planning his first Adirondack expedition, gives us insight into the powerful associations, always on the edge of transcendence, invested in landscape experience. Durand also saw the whole painteric project of American landscape painting as uniquely expressive of both national and cultural identity. [3]
