Junto a las cataratas del Niágara, las White Mountains y el propio Hudson, las plácidas aguas de lago George, rodeadas de montañas, constituían el perfecto motivo para representar la sublime naturaleza salvaje.
The Metropolitan’s large Lake George, 1869, painted for the wealthy New Yorker Morris K. Jesup, is perhaps the masterpiece of Kensett’s renderings of this site. In general, however, the artist was usually most effective on canvases of thirty inches wide or less.
Lake George, oil on canvas, 1869, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, has been called "one of the culminating works of the American tradition that began with Cole and Durand, both of whom had painted the lake."
