About the piece

Painted by Frederic Edwin Church in 1855, this masterpiece of American landscape art depicts the active Cotopaxi volcano under a warm, glowing sky. The composition masterfully leads the eye from the lush, detailed foreground of palm trees and travelers to the ethereal, snow-covered peak rising above a distant valley with a waterfall.
