Masterpiece Delivery - Day 24

"Nature and the Grand American Vision: Masterpieces of the Hudson River School Painters"


Amazing artwork, like the Thomas Hill piece above, are on display in Columbia through April 1, 2012.  What's even greater, Columbia Museum of Art is bringing some of the pieces for us Florentines to enjoy at the Florence Library on January 26th at 5:30pm - 

The Columbia Museum of Art will be presenting highlights from their newest visiting exhibition, "Nature and the Grand American Vision: Masterpieces of the Hudson River School Painters" on January 26, 2012 at 5:30PM. The lecture will combine art, history, and literature and will be presented by the Columbia Museum of Art's Executive Director, Karen Brosius.  The lecture will be held in the Joe Stukes Meeting Room at the Doctors Bruce and Lee Foundation Library on Dargan Street and admission is FREE.
This is the first time the paintings have ever left New York as a collection and they will only travel to four venues nationwide.  The Columbia Museum of Art is the only stop in the Southeast on this exhibition's grand tour.  The paintings are from 19th Century American artists who created the pieces as views of the American Landscape.  These works give visitors a rare look into the nature, culture, and history of the 19th Century New York art movement. 



365 Days Around Florence is a blog written by the Florence Convention and Visitors Bureau. At the Visitor Center near the Florence Civic Center, we spend a great deal of our time in letting guests know how much is happening in Florence. We decided to share (blog-style) 365 days' worth of things to do. Enjoy!
