The site is the result of a careful study of the river-banks, and commands so many views of varied beauty, that all the glories of the Hudson may be said to circle it.--H. W. French, Art and Artists in Connecticut, 1879

In 1609, Henry Hudson sailed up the river that now bears his name. The exhibition and its accompanying publication Glories of the Hudson: Frederic Edwin Church's Views from Olana mark the quadricentennial of his discovery by highlighting Frederic Church's sketches of the prospect from his hilltop home overlooking the river. Church made his first sketch of the Hudson River and Catskill Mountains from Red Hill--the south end of the property that became his home, Olana--in 1845, on a sketching expedition suggested by his teacher Thomas Cole. Returning to the Hudson Valley in 1860 as the nation's most famous and best-paid artist, Church settled on a farm on the lower slope of the Sienghenbergh, securing for himself and his new wife a splendid vantage point for studying, sketching, and painting the river.

Church continued to add land to his property, attaining new and varied vistas of the river, and crowned the estate with a Persian-inspired house designed to frame splendid views of the Hudson River and Catskill Mountains. Church never tired of his views of the river, documenting his passion for the Hudson in paintings, oil sketches, and drawings. From Olana, he observed the transformations wrought by the changing seasons, weather, and light, capturing chilly winter snows, brilliant sunsets, and passing storms in sketches executed with a few brushstrokes or autumn colors and clear winter light in more finished easel paintings. The best of these are reproduced here, in eighty-three illustrations, sixty-nine in full color, some of them published for the first time. The essay by Evelyn D. Trebilcock and Valerie A. Balint, the introduction by Kenneth John Myers, and the foreword by John K. Howat together provide an absorbing narrative of the development of the Hudson River School and its most successful artist.

The Olana Partnership, Hudson, New York, and New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, Albany, New York, organized Glories of the Hudson:

Luxury feel and a cozy sleep
Color: 04 - Mineral Blue, Size: King
I was hesitant to purchase these for my new, deep king mattress due to concerns that the fitted sheet might not stay in place. I took the plunge and have absolutely no regrets, in fact, I came on here to purchase another set. The color is true to picture and beautiful. The fabric is soft, and only gets softer with each wash. The corners fit perfectly and do not budge, no slipping and shifting. I could not be happier with these sheets.

Buy these! Best sheets ever.
Color: 02 - Beige, Size: California King
These sheets are the best I have ever bought and I’m old, so I have tried many different sheets over the years. No more night sweats. I sleep so much better. I almost did not buy them because I am cheap. I also have a very think mattress and these fit very well and easy to make the bed. I actually thinking about buying another set and storing them for future use in case I can’t find them again in the future. These are very much worth the price.

Great sheets
Color: 01 - Ivory, Size: Queen
Love these sheets. They are comfortable, wash up well and fit a sleep number bed. The cotton has some softness to it but not so much as to feel like polyester. I would buy them again! They are a good value for sleep number beds!

Soft and cool and comfortable!
Color: 02 - Linen, Size: Queen
These are the best cotton sheets I’ve ever had. They are more than large enough for my very deep queen mattress and the extra straps they have on the corners are helpful too. They are so comfortable to sleep in. I’m a very hot sleeper but these sheets stay nice and cool and don’t smother me like other sheets do. I really love them, so much I bought a second set already because you can’t beat that price for 100% cotton.
