Frederic Church and the Landscape Oil Sketch by Andrew Wilton

Frederic Church and the Landscape Oil Sketch by Andrew Wilton

The American painter Frederic Church (1826-1900) rose to fame as a member of the Hudson River School, which inaugurated the great tradition of American landscape painting. He was also a leading proponent of the landscape oil sketch made rapidly out-of-doors, in front of the subject. Such informal and spontaneous works often served as preparatory studies for large-scale paintings, and played a vital role in landscape practice and pedagogy in both Europe and America from the mid-19th century to around 1900. This book features some thirty sketches Church made in the United States, Jamaica, Europe, and the Middle East over the course of his career. A number of them come from Olana, the artist's magnificent home overlooking the Hudson River and now a New York State historic site. An introductory essay by Andrew Wilton is accompanied by detailed commentaries on the featured works.

Andrew Wilton was former keeper and senior research fellow at Tate Britain. Katherine Bourguignon is the associate curator at the Terra Foundation for American Art Europe. Christopher Riopelle is curator of post - 1800 paintings at the National Gallery, London.
