## Commentary

Lane&#39;s panoramic view of his native city is half-way between genre painting and landscape, and introduces us to the Luminist movement, a current within landscape painting which differed from the sentimentalism and grandiloquence of Cole&#39;s art and the work of the Hudson River painters. As its name indicates, Luminism was a way of painting landscape in terms of light and atmosphere, coupled with a highly polished and finished technique and a calm and peaceful view of the natural world.
