Louisiana Cultural Vistas - Winter 2007 - (Page 43) {Louisiana Road Scene, circa 1875} In 1969 the Anglo-American Art Museum (now Louisiana State University Museum of Art) called attention to Louisiana landscape painting in its exhibition, The Louisiana Landscape, 1800-1969. Similarly, in 1981 the R.W. Norton Museum of Art organized Louisiana Landscape and Genre Painting. THNOC and NOMA were contributors to these two exhibitions. American landscape painting essentially begins around 1825 with Thomas Cole and other artists of the Hudson River School who celebrated the vastness of this developing nation in canvases describing the drama and grandeur of the land. The earliest Louisiana landscapes, however, were largely intimate documentary works with horizontal formats. French artists Charles Alexander LeSeuer, Toussaint François Bigot, Charles Lesseps, and architect-engineers Marie Hyacinthe Laclotte and Adrien Marie Persac recorded the land and architecture. In his 1815 representation of the Battle of New Orleans, Laclotte documented battle positions placed within the context of the landscape of St. Bernard Parish, in what is now called Chalmette Battlefield. Persac delineated numerous plantations and by Charles Giroux, oil on canvas New Orleans Museum of Art {Scene on Lake Pontchartrain Near Mandeville, Louisiana, circa 1880} by William Henry Buck, oil on canvas New Orleans Museum of Art Winter 2007-08/LOUISIANA ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES 43
