Frederic Edwin Church: Romantic Landscapes and Seascapes

Published to accompany a major exhibition of notable landscapes and seascapes by Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900), this catalogue offers a rich sampling of the artist's five decades of creative production.Reproduced here in full color, the works 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.

Gerald L. Carr, currently an independent scholar and a visiting scholar at the University of Delaware, in Newark, Delaware.

GERALD L. CARR, Ph. D., head of the Frederic Edwin Church Catalogue Raisonne Project, has contributed three illuminating essays that provide fascinating and essential historical background for understanding the works in the context of the development of nineteenth-century art and its nascent market.
