Havell s work, (who also created many of the landscapes for Audubon s famous birds) includes panoramic publications and paintings of the Hudson River and the Thames like other artists in this exhibition such as Thomas Cole (Father of the Hudson River School), and noted artists Jasper Cropsey and John Kensett, who favored the chain of cities, suburbs, and countryside along these two rivers, where horizontal planes and historical associations gave form to both artistic and cultural expression. The Panoramic River features major loans from more than two dozen museums, galleries, and private collections. Museums lending paintings include: The Metropolitan Museum of Art; The New-York Historical Society; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Baltimore Museum of Art; Fenimore Art Museum; The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College; Maryland State Archives; West Point Museum; Williams College Museum of Art; Princeton University Art Museum; and the Yale Center for British Art.
