Discovery of the Hudson River, Collection of the U.S. House of Representatives
About this object

Discovery of the Hudson River, installed in 1874, depicts explorer Henry Hudson sailing just above West Point, New York, in 1609. He and his crew approach a group of Native Americans on the shore. But it is not the Native people that give a clue as to what the explorers will find at their journey’s end. The rainbow above the landscape points the way to a new world and a source of great riches. Bierstadt, who resided in the Hudson River valley, thoughtfully provided local details such as Storm King and Crow’s Nest mountains, and Hudson’s well-known vessel, Half Moon.
