    In appreciation for a group of paintings that PAFA is lending next year, the Metropolitan Museum of Art is reciprocating with paintings from the Hudson River School. Public Treasures/Private Visions is a rare opportunity to see paintings that seldom travel outside of New York City, as well as paintings from superlative select private collections of Hudson River School art. The Hudson River School is one of the most influential traditions in the history of American landscape painting. Ranging from grand visions of the American West to quiet forest interiors, American painters absorbed the traditions of European landscape artists and reinvented them to celebrate the distinctiveness of the vast American landscape and created new art for a new land.
