William Wallace Wotherspoon may be one of the most talented artists of the Hudson River School to go unrecognized. While his oeuvre remains partially undiscovered by historians and patrons of American art, his few signed early landscapes were views of New Hampshire’s White Mountains and of the Litchfield Hills in Connecticut. He attended the National Academy of Design in the early 1840s and frequently exhibited paintings there over the next four decades.
