Born in Hartford, Connecticut, Frederic Church became a leading figure
in the Hudson River School* of painters, and in the 1850s and 60s was
one of America's most famous painters. The paintings for which he
became known were landscapes conveying a serene sense of light and
space, showing nature in its pure state without the presence of human
beings.
His career rose very fast, taking off when he was in
his early twenties, but by the time he was forty, public taste had
changed (showing 500 of 13417 characters). |
