Travel with us to the lovely estates and hillsides where Hudson Valley painters made their masterpieces. First, we’ll visit Olana, the Persian-inspired mansion whose panoramic views inspired artist Frederic Church to paint light-infused landscapes and design an outdoor landscape that’s a work of art in itself. After our guided tour of the house, we’ll head to lunch in the nearby town of Catskill and proceed to the home of Church’s mentor Thomas Cole, whose paintings of these mountains and valleys 200 years ago lent Americans a new appreciation for the natural beauty of their land and gave rise to the renowned Hudson Valley School of landscape art. On our guided tour of the house and buildings, we’ll discover details about his life, work and family, and we’ll also see many of his artworks on display. Note that at each site, there’s a staircase up to the second floor.
