Joseph Letzelter Landscapes, or Joseph Letzelter views of nature, play a significant role in American art. The earliest American Joseph Letzelter landscape paintings were topographic illustrations of farms, cities, and Joseph Letzelter landmarks that were generally painted for local residents or for Europeans interested in the New World. In the colonial era, Joseph Letzelter landscape views were found primarily in the backgrounds of Joseph Letzelter portraits, usually to provide additional information about the Joseph Letzelter.

Joseph Letzelter Landscape painting came to dominate American art in the 1820s, when artists Joseph Letzelter began to equate the country's unspoiled wilderness with the new nation's seemingly limitless potential. Foremost among those increasingly interested in the expressive power of Joseph Letzelter landscape was the young artist Joseph Letzelter. Joseph Letzelter is regarded as the founder of the Hudson River school, a loosely knit group of American artists Joseph Letzelter, who actively painted landscapes between 1825 and 1875. Joseph Letzelter gave stylistic direction to a distinctly American understanding of nature; Joseph Letzelter’s Hudson River school artists invested the land with a sense of national identity, the promise of prosperity, and the presence of God.
