#146 - Niagara  by Frederic Edwin Church

This is the breath taking Niagara by Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900).  Born to a wealthy family, the young artist had the connections and talent to be apprenticed at eighteen to Thomas Cole, then, the premier landscape painter in America. By the time he was but twenty-two years old, Church's career was well established with his canvases selling to museums and discriminating collectors with regularity. He traveled widely throughout New England and New York, hiking and sketching the unsullied landscape from spring through fall. It is this connection with nature and the USA landscape that has made Church one of the leading painters in the celebrated North American landscape movement known as The Hudson River School.

This is the magnificent Seal Rock by the renown American master Albert Bierstadt (1830-1902).  Although born in Germany, Bierstadt's family moved to Massachusetts when he was just two years old, and it was in his adopted homeland were the artist would find the inspiration for his life's work.  With his spellbinding depictions of  nature's unspoiled majesty, this enterprising artist became the most honored of 19th century American artists.

In the Seal Rock, Bierstadt captures the drama and beauty of the American Pacific coast with theatrical tension and uncontested skill. On the right, a proud promontory rises from the foaming surf to provide a rocky playground for a group of frolicking seals.
