About the piece
Created in 1856, this evocative oil painting by Frederic Edwin Church is a masterful example of the Hudson River School's romanticized view of the American wilderness. The composition creates a powerful tension between the deep, grounding shadows of the forest and the brilliant, radiating light of the setting sun breaking through heavy clouds over distant peaks.
