James Renwick Brevoort (1832–1918) was an American landscape painter associated with the Hudson River School, a movement known for its detailed and romanticized depictions of nature.

Brevoort was born in Yonkers, New York, in 1832. He studied at the National Academy of Design in New York City, where he developed his artistic skills and gained recognition for his landscape paintings.

Brevoort’s work is characterized by soft atmospheric effects, muted color palettes, and detailed depictions of rural landscapes. He often painted pastoral scenes, emphasizing tranquility and light. His compositions frequently included open meadows, rolling hills, and soft, hazy skies, reflecting the influence of the Hudson River School.

By the late 19th century, Hudson River School aesthetics fell out of favor, and Brevoort's work received less attention as American art trends moved toward Impressionism and modernism. However, his paintings remain appreciated for their serene beauty and mastery of light.

His paintings are held in various museum collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
