Painting Lake George: 1774 - 1900

Painting Lake George, 1774-1900 explores in depth the extraordinary paintings that depict the famously beautiful Adirondack resort community. In the tradition of recent explorations of landscape paintings distinguished by place, this lavishly illustrated book investigates why paintings of the "Queen of American lakes," as it was known in the nineteenth century, became popular: what characteristics separated them from other landscape views, who bought them, and how they were understood by the public. The compendium of accompanying information presents the range of the documented paintings, even paintings lost or destroyed, surviving only in records of their titles and artists. It serves to enhance our understanding of the range of artists and interpretations of the lake.
