Niagara Falls by Moonlight |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
The son of a Connecticut minister, Church was the only pupil of the founder of the Hudson River School, Thomas Cole (1801-1848). Surpassing Cole in technical ability, he was a master at capturing atmospheric effects, as is evident in this remarkable moonlit study of Niagara Falls from the Canadian side, with mist rising from the water. Church probably made this study in preparation for an enormous canvas of Niagara (1857), now in the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. |
