CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 324 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900) , American landscape painter, was born at Hartford, Connecticut, on the 4th of May 1826. He was a pupil of Thomas Cole at Catskill, New
York
 , where his first pictures were painted. Developing unusual technical dexterity, Church from the beginning sought for his themes such marvels of nature as Niagara Falls, the Andes, and tropical forestshe visited South America in 1853 and 1857,* volcanoes in eruption, and icebergs, the beauties of which he portrayed with
great
  skill in the management of light, colour, and the phenomena of rainbow, mist and sunset, rendering these plausible and effective. In their time these paintings awoke the wildest admiration and sold for extravagant prices, collectors in the United States and in Europe eagerly seeking them, though their vogue has now passed away. In 1849 Church was made a member of the National
Academy
  of Design. His "
Great
  Fall at Niagara " (1857) is in the Corcoran Art Gallery, Washington, D. C., and a large " Twilight " is in the Walters Gallery,
Baltimore
 ,
Maryland
 . Among his other canvases are " Andes of
Ecuador
  " (1855), " Heart of the Andes " (1859), " Cotopaxi" (1862), " Jerusalem " (187o), and " Morning in the Tropics " (1877). He died on the 7th of April 'goo, at his
house
  on the Hudson river above New
York
  City, where he had lived and worked for many years. He was the most prominent member of the so-called " Hudson River School " of American artists.
