Auctioneer's Note: The first American School of Art is known as ''The Hudson River School,'' consisting of mid-nineteenth century ''Nature Painters'' who found spirituality in nature. These adventuresome artists hiked to see impressive views. They sketched and did studies in the field to bring back to their studios where they would create the finished paintings. The Hudson River served as the main route of travel to the best places, as well as provided the best subject matter. New York City, with the National Academy of Design to exhibit at, was the center of the American Arts world in the 19thC. Now you can bid on 69 lots of paintings and prints, mostly related to the Hudson Valley. Today, with an emphasis on conservation of resources, and going ''Green,''it is the best time to purchase and enjoy these beautiful works. Bidding is online, with the opportunity to preview at the Absolute Auction Center. Every lot starts at $1.00 and sells to the highest bidder. Good luck! - Rob Doyle.

A painter of panoramic landscapes in a detailed transcriptive yet broadly painted style, Benedikt Franz Hess was born in Paris and appears to have begun his career in Switzerland, where he studied with the Swiss landscapist Charles Louis Guigon. By 1852 he had immigrated to the United States; in that year he exhibited seven paintings at the American Art Union in New York. While one of the paintings was a view near Geneva, Switzerland, the titles and descriptions of the others indicate that he traveled widely in New York state, painting autumnal scenery in Deposit, New York (near Binghamton), rural countryside in Middleport, New York (near Rochester), the Hudson River north of Newburgh, New York, and the rapids of Niagara, showing the river and the wooded shore. In 1857 Hess exhibited a painting entitled Storm in the Alps at the National Academy of Design. Hess appears to have signed his works B. Hess. Work by Hess may be found in the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Library, Hyde Park, New York. Hess painted Niagara Falls, which Currier & Ives reproduced in a large color lithograph. This painted country View is most likely in western New York, and created in the early 1850's. it is one of a pair. The other is offered as the previous lot 5 in this auction. (His works have sold as high as S30,000.00).
