Art by color

Early Life and Training

Frederic Edwin Church, a prominent figure in the Hudson River School of American landscape painters, was born on May 4, 1826, in Hartford, Connecticut. He was a direct descendant of Richard Church, a Puritan pioneer from England who accompanied Thomas Hooker on the original journey through the wilderness to what would become Hartford, Connecticut. Church's family wealth allowed him to pursue his interest in art from a very early age. At eighteen years old, Church became the pupil of Thomas Cole, a British-born artist and founder of the Hudson River School, in Catskill, New York. This two-year apprenticeship laid the foundation for Church's future success as a landscape painter.

Artistic Style and Influences

Church's paintings are characterized by their emphasis on realistic detail, dramatic light, and panoramic views. He was influenced by Alexander von Humboldt, a Prussian explorer and scientist, and his work reflects the romanticism of the time. Church's style is notable for its use of low horizontal lines, preponderance of sky, and "hidden" brushstrokes, which create a smooth and realistic painting surface.

Notable Works and Exhibitions

* The Oxbow (1836), a romantic landscape depicting a small figure in a vast, atmospheric environment. * View from Mount Holyoke, Northampton, Massachusetts, a series of sketches and paintings showcasing Church's ability to capture the beauty of the American wilderness. * Exhibitions at the New-York Historical Society and the National Gallery in Washington, D.C.

Legacy and Impact

Church was a prolific artist who debuted some of his major works in single-painting exhibitions to a paying and often enthralled audience in New York City. His influence on American landscape painting is undeniable, and his work continues to be celebrated for its beauty and historical significance.
