    Before the sublime and romantic images of the Hudson River School in the nineteenth century, American landscape painting was often commissioned by property owners and consisted of images of grand country houses in industrious farmscapes, ships sailing in and out of busy ports and picturesque views of plantation agriculture. Curator of Historical Art, Anna Marley, makes her PAFA Art-at-Lunch debut with a discussion of how these early paintings challenge traditional understanding of landscapes as an allegory of national and regional identity by considering the impacts of imperialism, colonialism and capitalism in the works.
