Author Description

"This catalogue, published to accompany a major exhibition of notable landscapes and seascapes by Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900) at Adelson Galleries and Meredith Long & Company, offers a rich sampling of the artist's five decades of creative production. The works in the exhibition, reproduced here in full color, constitute a veritable travelogue of the places Church visited over the course of his illustrious career, including much of New York State and New England, Labrador, Central and South America, Greece, Turkey, and the Holy Land. Among the paintings presented are some major canvases and oil sketches from private collections that have rarely been on public view."--Jacket.
