Fallen Tree
“In many works of art by Hudson River School painters, a fallen tree is seen in the foreground of the painting. The tree is a visual reminder of time, and gently reminds us that even the strongest things in nature can be fragile. This tree likely a Sycamore, was found on the grounds at Crystal Bridges after it’s fall but remains in place as a reminder of both strength and vulnerability.”
The picture frame is a metal “sculpture” that frames the landscape behind it. (see video)
