Twilight in the Wilderness by Frederic Edgar Church, 1860
American / Landscape / Paintings (Reproductions) - 1 year ago - troycapc
A reproduction of the masterpiece by Frederic Edgar Church, “Twilight in the Wilderness” of 1860. This quintessentially American work has had many interpreters and is a glorious celebration of the American wilderness. The eagle on the left can be seen as a representation of the American icon of the nation; crossed trees in the work may suggest Christianity. The scruffy and twisted pines may represent the imperfect yet strong elements of the landscape. But the entire work is dominated by blazing red clouds of the sky at dusk, surely a reflection of the bloody storm-clouds threatening Church’s homeland, the Civil War which was to break out in the year following this work’s creation. This work is currently at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Frederic Church was the leading artist of the second generation of the Hudson River School. By the time of this work, he was the most famous contemporary American artist at the age of thirty-four years. He had been a student of Benjamin Cole. As tastes changed after 1865, Church’s popularity with the public began to fade but he continued to paint and was very comfortable due to the significant private wealth of his family. He died in New York City in 1900.

A reproduction of “North Texas Sky”, an original painting based on the sky south of Ft. Worth, Texas in the late afternoon of December 20, 2008. It is shocking what beauty God gives to us for free when we only take the time to notice and appreciate the handiwork of a Divine Hand.
