those scenes that became imprinted on the American consciousness. By the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century, their memory substantially contributed to the creation of the National Parks system. To this day, the paintings in the Questroyal ���Freedom Rings��� exhibition are not only noteworthy artistically, but they incorporate the core tendency, the freedom to wander into ungoverned territory, at home and abroad. The mighty Hudson, through a network of vast canals, led to the Great Lakes, the Mississippi and the far West. These Questroyal paintings led the way: they are the prodigy of a manifest destiny driven by a young republic���s sense of divine purpose. In these works, we see the result of what happens when freedom rings, when you take your flute as Cole did, climb a precipice, take it out of your back pocket, play to nature and then paint a masterpiece. Many Americans have the same sense of wanderlust, albeit at the end of the climb, the view is our artful creation through the camera eye, and a whistle will do. Now, durng the computer era, it behooves us to know these Hudson River artists. Yesterday nature, today science. Let us hope that in America and elsewhere in the world, multifaceted individuals may thrive, thereby enabling a better future.
