Description
During the 1850s, John Kensett’s imagery evolved away from the sweeping panoramas of the dramatic Hudson River School idiom to embrace, along with a number of its practitioners, the quieter, more contemplative aesthetic of Luminism. Aligned with the philosophical precepts of Transcendentalism and its imperative to integrate spirit and matter, Luminist painters sought to achieve that communion by infusing their work with a precise and meditative focus on the landscape, particularly as manifested through a concentration on the effects of light and atmosphere in the unpeopled, sparsely composed, asymmetrically oriented, horizontal canvases they favored. In all but its somewhat painterly facture — Luminist pictures typically suppress visible brushwork — Lake George embodies the traits of Kensett’s Luminist maturity, portraying the famously scenic site with an attention to the reflective properties of light as it glints in the background off the still waters between what is likely Black Mountain, on the left, and Deer Leap, at right, as seen from Sabbath Day Point.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
