Transcendentalism Art - 2

Evan Hopes
Transcendentalism Art - 2

“Man With Two Cows” (1844) by Christopher Pearse Cranch
An obvious implication of transcendentalism is the direct connection between nature and the divine, ideally without any religious practice necessary. As a landscape painter, Cranch ventured out into nature in search of the miraculous, something that would touch his soul, and this is essentially what he found. It embodies the spirit of nature and the undying power it holds, and how it can be accessed by man.
