Description:

WALTER L. GREENE (1870-1956) STORM KING. 1928. 40x26 inches, 102x66 cm. Latham Litho & Printing Co., New York. In the Hudson River Valley, an area already rife with lore, Storm King looms large both physically and psychologically. For centuries, sailors considered the mountain the home of "local spirits" who threatened the safety of their ships with large thunderbolts. However, to Dutch settlers the shape of the mountain looked like a giant pat of butter so they referred to it as "Boterberg." It wasn't until a minor romantic poet, Nathaniel Parker Willis, took offence at that very un-romantic Dutch appellation that the mountain was given the name "Storm King." Greene's image plays with the connotations associated with this later name by emphasizing the dramatic placement and stature of the mountain as it looms over the river, with a train speeding along in the foreground.
