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.

Today, with an emphasis on conservation of resources, and going ''Green,''it is the best time to purchase and enjoy these beautiful works.
