Answer 2

Answer:

The Hudson River School was a style of painting that portrayed wilderness and landscapes.

Explanation:

Hudson River School is the denomination given to a group of American landscape painters of the mid-nineteenth century (1825-1875), with an aesthetic vision influenced by romanticism. Sometimes it is included in the American luminism.  

They had in common their admiration for the great and spectacular, the wild nature and an important dose of patriotic pride ("we painted the most beautiful country in the world" seemed to be their motto). They began with panoramic views of the Hudson River and the Catskill Valley, then extending to other areas such as the Adirondacks and the White Mountains (which spawned new schools), thus reaching the Western United States with the Rocky Mountain School.
