ID: #4362 | Romanticismo | Paesaggi

Il dipinto raffigura un paesaggio idilliaco con maestose palme in primo piano e un panorama montuoso sullo sfondo. In lontananza si scorge un picco coperto di neve, probabilmente un vulcano. Alcune nuvole nel cielo segnano una giornata altrimenti limpida. In primo piano c'è un piccolo gruppo di persone e animali. La scena naturale è completata da una cascata che sfocia in un fiume che attraversa la valle.

Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900) was an American Romantic landscape painter born in Hartford, Connecticut. His father was a watchmaker and his younger brother founded the first paper mill in Lee, Massachusetts in Berkshires. A good background allowed him to pursue art from early childhood. At 18, he was the youngest worker in the National Academy of Design and a year later, he was awarded an academic title. He was the only student of Thomas Cole. Church’s style is evident in his paintings: rich representation of red, purple and orange, and the emphasis on imagination. Connections with rich customers enabled him to embark on two trips throughout South and North America. There, he could capture the beauty of the natural scenery in Ecuador during the rainy season or the splendor of Niagara Falls. Aurora borealis is a spectacular picture that leaves the viewer almost breathless. One of the four paintings from the series The Hearth of the Andes won him fame during the 1859 exhibition. He specialized also in faithful representations of Ecuadorian flora. His art is highly regarded not only in America.
