"Lake George" is a notable landscape painting by the American artist John Frederick Kensett, a prominent figure associated with the second generation of the Hudson River School. This painting, created in 1869, exemplifies Kensett's mature style, characterized by a serene representation of nature, subtle light effects, and a refined use of atmospheric perspective. The artwork captures a tranquil scene of Lake George, located in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State, which was a popular subject among the Hudson River School painters due to its picturesque qualities and the American reverence for the natural landscape.

Measuring 12 1/8 x 22 1/8 inches (30.8 x 56.2 cm), the oil on canvas painting is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, bequeathed by Kensett's close friend and fellow artist, James Stillman, in 1872. "Lake George" is distinguished by its clear, luminous sky and the calm waters of the lake, reflecting Kensett's interest in capturing the ephemeral qualities of light and atmosphere. The composition is balanced, with a foreground of rocky shores and trees that frame the expansive view of the lake, leading the viewer's eye towards the distant mountains.

Kensett's "Lake George" is not only a testament to the artist's technical skill and aesthetic sensibilities but also reflects the broader cultural and philosophical interests of the time, including the transcendentalist movement and the notion of the sublime in nature. The painting is a significant work within Kensett's oeuvre and the Hudson River School, contributing to the understanding of American landscape painting in the 19th century. It continues to be studied and admired for its beauty and historical importance, offering insight into the era's artistic trends and the evolving American identity connected to the natural environment.
