A Gorge in the Mountains (Kauterskill Clove)

A Gorge in the Mountains (Kauterskill Clove)

Artist: Sanford Robinson Gifford (American, 1823–1880)

Original Dimensions: 48" x 39 7/8"

Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

About Artwork: (1862) "Awash in dazzling sunlight, this painting depicts the famed locale of Kaaterskill Clove (historically spelled Kauterskill), in the eastern Catskill Mountains, and a distant view of the double cascades of Kaaterskill Falls. Gifford’s luminous scene departs from earlier paintings by Thomas Cole and others who romanticized the sublime, or fearsome, aspect of the glacier-carved gorge. Nearly camouflaged in the russet and ochre cliffside at bottom left, a hunter and his dog climb toward the precipice overlooking the dramatic ravine. Gifford otherwise eliminates evidence of the tourist industry that increasingly defined the region." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
