==History==
Asher Brown Durand known for his skill as an engraver and portraitist, left this career path in 1837 to pursue landscape painting. He was persuaded by his friend and fellow artist, Thomas Cole, who lived in the Catskill region. Durand, who resided in New York, corresponded with Cole and wrote in one of his letters, "now, if there be a man on earth whose location I envy... it is Thomas Cole".〔(J., The Life and Times of Asher B. Durand, Black Dome Press Corp, 2006, p. 140-141, ISBN 1883789508 )〕 During the summer months Durand would often go on expeditions in search of beauty and the Catskills were one of the areas he often explored.〔(J., The Life and Times of Asher B. Durand, Black Dome Press Corp, 2006, p. 184, ISBN 1883789508 )〕
''The Catskills'', completed in 1859, reflects the Transcendental philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson. This style was consistent with the Hudson River School, to which Durand was a founding member.〔(The Walters Art Museum- The Catskills )〕 It is also noted that after Durand's return from Europe in 1841, his landscapes reflect influence by the European painters Claude Lorrain and John Constable.〔(E. M., Hudson River School:Masterworks from the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Yale University Press, 2003, p. 105,ISBN 0300101163 )〕
