Foreword by Director of the Virginia Historical Society Charles F. Bryan, Jr. This is the story of Virginia as told through the work of landscape artists. Although landscape pictures are no foolproof guide to Virginia's history, they are historical documents that, carefully scrutinized, yield historical insights as much as written documents or archaeological evidence. The Virginia Landscape gives a unique view into the cultural history of Virginia, as depicted by landscape pictures over centuries.

Great book!,

This review is from: The Virginia Landscape: A Cultural History (Hardcover)
This is a well-written book. If you are interested in Virginia (and who isn't?), history, and art, you will enjoy the book. The book is perfectly focused on the Virginia landscape, not on teaching art history.
