"Picnic on the Hudson" is a 19th-century oil painting by Scottish-born American artist James McDougal Hart (1828–1901). Known for his pastoral landscapes that often depict the serene countryside of the Hudson River Valley, Hart was a prominent figure in the second generation of the Hudson River School, a mid-19th century American art movement characterized by romantic portrayals of the American landscape.

The painting "Picnic on the Hudson" captures a tranquil scene along the banks of the Hudson River, a frequent subject in Hart's oeuvre. It showcases a group of figures enjoying a leisurely picnic in a lush, verdant setting. The composition is carefully constructed to draw the viewer's eye across the canvas, from the foreground figures and their immediate surroundings to the expansive view of the river and the distant landscape. The work is imbued with the idyllic and bucolic qualities typical of Hart's style, reflecting a sense of harmony between humans and nature.

As a notable work within Hart's body of art, "Picnic on the Hudson" exemplifies the artist's skill in rendering the textures of foliage and the interplay of light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey the peacefulness of rural American life during the period. The painting is significant for its contribution to the visual documentation and romanticization of the American landscape in the post-Civil War era, a time when the nation was undergoing rapid industrialization and urbanization.

"Picnic on the Hudson" is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and as a representation of the Hudson River School's enduring legacy in American art history.
