Probably the Hudson River School established around 1820.

Explanation:

The Hudson River School beginnings are vague and term was used as a disparaging label. The paintings were "Romantic" in style and tended to show "themes of discovery, exploration and settlement".enter image source here

Although there were artists in the Revolutionary Period this was the first "School".
