Frederic Church, the leader of the much-loved group of artists
known as the Hudson River School, made his name as a painter of
monumental landscapes in the mid-1800s, helping to develop our
vision of landscape and shaping the cultural identity of America.
He applied his artistic talent to the house and property that he
named Olana, known today as Olana State Historic Site and located
in the heart of the beautiful Hudson River Valley. The 250-acre
naturalistic landscape surrounding the house is a work of art in
itself, and the magnificent views beyond Olana were an essential
part of Church s composition, which he carefully designed with an
artist s eye to the property s 360-degree views of neighbouring
hills, valleys, the Hudson River, and distant mountains. Church was
an observer of the cosmos, and Olana, set in the centre of the
Hudson River Valley, was his laboratory of observation of all of
nature. Spectacular photography by Larry Lederman of Olana, its
landscape and house, inside and out, illustrates one of Church s
greatest works of art. The images, many taken especially for this
book, have been shot in all seasons and all weather, and include
panoramic and aerial views, sunsets, detail shots of both the house
and landscape, as well as interior views of the house. Essays will
delve into Church and his inspirations and motivations,
illuminating not only the estate he built but also his work as an
artist.
