DESCRIPTION:In-Person\nTake a behind-the-scenes look at the Delaware Art Mu
 seum's fall special exhibition\, Transcendent: Landscapes of the Hudson Ri
 ver School. Drawn primarily from the rich collections of the New-York Hist
 orical Society and supplemented with key loans from public and private col
 lections\, the talk will introduce the tradition of landscape painting tha
 t flourished in the United States in the middle decades of the nineteenth 
 century. Transcendent explores these nationally beloved paintings through 
 the lens of Transcendentalism\, a nineteenth-century movement that emphasi
 zed the spiritual connection between humans and the natural world. The lec
 ture will also examine the belief of period artists\, writers\, and theolo
 gians who viewed nature to be the primary locus of the divine. Though they
  do not overtly illustrate religious scenes or texts\, Hudson River School
  paintings were created by deeply religious artists who understood their w
 orks to reflect their faith.\nJoe Soler\, Ph.D.\, who serves as DelArt's G
 allery Learning Assistant\, will present this special look at Transcendent
 . He received his master's degree and doctorate in Urban Education from Te
 mple University. Prior to DelArt\, he held a number of positions at the Un
 iversity of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology and is an 
 adjunct professor at two colleges.\nImage credit: South American Landscape
