Hudson River School Artists' Color Pallet - Evening Golden Hour

I recently attended a lecture on the Hudson River School of American artists. The color pallet in this evening's sky reminds me of their color pallet.

 

Some thoughts from the Newark Museum in New Jersey;

Hudson River School:

A group of American painters of the mid-19th century whose works are characterized by a highly romantic treatment of landscape, especially along the Hudson River.

 

Landscape:

A section or expanse of rural scenery, usually extensive, hat can be seen from a single viewpoint.

 

Sublime:

Impressing the mind with a sense of grandeur or power; inspiring awe

 

Symbolism:

The practice of representing things by symbols, or of investing things with a symbolic meaning or character.

Of course, the best articles are always in The Encyclopedia Brittanica, which I grew up with:
