Book by Carr Gerald L

"Gerald Carr has produced a sweeping and thoughtful look at the work of this major artist of the Hudson River school by examining Church in the context of his time. He has penned an in-depth study of the scientific advances and exploration of exotic lands that were a preoccupation of the literati in the nineteenth century and provided Church with subject matter in such distant places as the Near East, South America, and Antarctica. The canvases Church painted of those far-flung locales are among his most beautiful and profound works, and Carr's new approach to interpreting them is an important contribution to the existing literature on one of the most highly regarded painters of the period." -- The Magazine Antiques
