Early American settlers saw their new homeland as bountiful, albeit uncivilized. Painters of the era sought to capture not only the beauty of their surroundings, but also the adventurous spirit of those who chose to settle it. Colonial paintings are infused with this combination of realism in subject matter and romanticism in mood. Early 18th century art went through transitions as colonists adjusted to their homeland and experienced monumental events that changed the course of history.
