James McDougal Hart (American, 1828-1901), Landscape with Cows, 1887, oil on canvas.

In conjunction with The Poetry of Nature: Hudson River School Landscapes from the New-York Historical Society, we are celebrating the American collections of the Allentown Art Museum with a special temporary installation.

Featuring nineteenth-century landscapes in paint and on paper by artists such as Albert Bierstadt and Thomas Moran, this exhibition presents sublime, dramatic, and contemplative scenery from Niagara Falls to Bethlehem.
