Art of the White Mountains now at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts

I'm not aware of them including any photographs originally published here, but it might still be worth a visit if you're in the Boston area.

I particularly like treating the paintings as a kind of mystery puzzle: try to mentally reverse the exaggerations and come up with the identity of the peak. The painting shown at the link above is an easy one; find the answer at http://educators.mfa.org/objects/detail/202435?classification=Paintings&pageSize=80&page=85

A bit more info about the exhibit, especially the paintings, is here:

The first linked painting may not be exactly to scale, but I recognized it right away, as will many. There is a more accurate rendition of that mountain, from a different angle, in your third link, and I like that one too. I think any Views member who enjoys 19th Century American landscape painting would find this exhibition worthwhile. It will change between now and next July, as they will be rotating paintings throughout the span of the show, so a couple of visits wouldn't be amiss.

This looks fantastic. Thanks for the heads-up.
