What was the first American school of early painting?

  1. Hudson River Valley Schools

  2. Impressionist School

  3. New England School

  4. Southwestern School

The correct answer is: Hudson River Valley Schools

The correct answer is A. Hudson River Valley Schools, because it refers to a group of American landscape painters in the mid-19th century who were influenced by Romanticism. They focused on realistic and detailed portrayals of the American landscape, particularly the Hudson River Valley and surrounding areas. The other options, B. Impressionist School, C. New England School, and D. Southwestern School, do not accurately represent the first American school of early painting as described in art history.
