Luminist landscapes emphasize tranquility, and often depict calm, reflective water and a soft, hazy sky. The term luminism was introduced by 20th century art historians to describe a 19th century American painting style that developed as an offshoot of the Hudson River school.

  • Luminism is an American landscape painting style of the 1850s – 1870s, characterized by effects of light in landscapes, through using aerial perspective, and concealing visible brushstrokes. Luminist landscapes emphasize tranquility, and often depict calm, reflective water and a soft, hazy sky. The term luminism was introduced by 20th century art historians to describe a 19th century American painting style that developed as an offshoot of the Hudson River school. The artists who painted in this style did not refer to their own work as "luminism", nor did they articulate any common painting philosophy outside of the guiding principles of the Hudson River school. Luminism shares an emphasis on the effects of light with impressionism. However, the two styles are markedly different. Luminism is characterized by attention to detail and the hiding of brushstrokes, while impressionism is characterized by lack of detail and an emphasis on brushstrokes. Luminism preceded impressionism, and the artists who painted in a luminist style were in no way influenced by impressionism--nor were impressionists in France influenced by luminism in America.
  • Luminismo é o nome de uma técnica pictórica e de uma Escola de pintura dos Estados Unidos que floresceu durante o fim do século XIX. O termo foi cunhado por John Baur em seu estudo de 1954 sobre a pintura norte-americana do século XIX, American Luminism, sendo usado na descrição de uma característica especial no tratamento da luz com fins expressivos e de revelação espiritual, junto com uma técnica de acabamento que eliminava a evidência da pincelada e oferecia uma superfície lisa e acetinada, que realçava o efeito impessoal do panorama pintado. Com esses recursos os pintores buscavam criar atmosferas de tranquilidade que convidassem à contemplação. Os paisagistas do século XIX não se definiam como luministas, pois o termo não existia, nem as características que são identificadas em suas obras como luministas compunham uma filosofia independente dos princípios gerais da Escola do Rio Hudson, à qual pertencia a maioria deles. Mais tarde o nome foi a plicado a outros pintores, inclusive europeus, e hoje é usado frequentemente para designar uma Escola de pintura autônoma dos Estados Unidos. Entre os praticantes das técnicas do Luminismo estão: Fitz Hugh Lane David Johnson John Frederick Kensett James Augustus Suydam Sanford Robinson Gifford George Caleb Bingham Martin Johnson Heade Jasper Francis Cropsey Frederic Edwin Church
