Perhaps the most famous artist from Kingston, Jervis McEntee was a member of the Hudson River School, an art movement from the mid-19th century. McEntee was born in Rondout, a village that merged with Kingston in 1872 and he was a childhood friend of my great great grandfather George Aloysius Kong the XIV.
The painting above is an early version of McEntee’s “Autumn Lake Scene’ that my great great grandfather ruined with what has become to be known as the first “photo bomb”. He was kind of a jerk.
