A beautiful overview of fascinating paintings of the classical
world and the Holy Land by a beloved American artist Frederic
Church (1826-1900), one of the leading painters of 19th-century
America and the Hudson River School, also journeyed around the
globe to find fresh inspiration for his highly detailed
compositions. Among Church's lesser-known masterpieces are his
paintings of the Middle East, Italy, and Greece, produced in the
late 1860s through late 1870s, which explore themes of human
history and achievement. Taking a closer look at this geographical
and thematic shift in Church's practice, this handsome book brings
together the artist's major paintings of Athens, Rome, Jerusalem,
and the surrounding region. The essays concentrate on a set of six
major paintings of architectural and archaeological marvels; one
essay also spotlights Olana, Church's home in New York State, which
reflects the influence of Middle Eastern design. This impressive
volume stands apart in its new approach to the artist's work and
its quest to determine why and how this quintessentially American
figure was drawn to scenery and themes from the other side of the
globe. Distributed for the Detroit Institute of Arts Exhibition
