James Hope (1818/19–1892) was a 19th-century Scottish-born American painter, known for his masterful landscapes and historically significant Civil War battle scenes. Associated with the Hudson River School, Hope's landscapes capture the sublime beauty of the American wilderness, from the breathtaking, misty ravines of Watkins Glen, New York, to the autumnal colors of Vermont. His unique experience as a Union Army Captain during the Civil War also led to his renowned series of Antietam panoramas, which are infused with a sense of topographical accuracy and emotional drama.
