Description

A reproduction of the masterpiece by Frederic Edgar Church, "Morning in the Tropics" of 1877. This work of Church was the result of his expeditions to South America in 1853 and 1857. He was inspired by Baron Alexander von Humbolt who had explored the region at the end of the previous century. In this painting Church makes use of Luminism which, in American 19th century painting, refers to the use of the depiction of bright light and the minimalization of the effects of brushstrokes. This work is currently at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. 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.
