Description
English: The Heart of the Andes by Frederic Edwin Church (1826–1900)
Deutsch: Frederic Church war der Starschüler von Thomas Cole. Church war der wichtigste Künstler der zweiten Generation der Hudson River School. Er beschränkte sich nicht auf Ansichten von New York und Neuengland; in den 1850er Jahren reiste er unter dem Einfluss des großen Entdeckers Alexander von Humboldt nach Südamerika und fertigte Skizzen an, die die Grundlage für ein großes Andenpanorama bildeten. Church malte die Natur mit unheimlicher Treue und einem bleibenden Gefühl der Ehrfurcht. Seine Landschaften verkörperten die Überzeugung der Amerikaner, dass die Öffnung der Grenzen und die territoriale Expansion das Schicksal der Nation sei. Als dieses monumentale Gemälde 1859 in einem abgedunkelten Raum und mit versteckten Lichtern erstmals der Öffentlichkeit gezeigt wurde, erregte es großes Aufsehen. In vielerlei Hinsicht führte das Gemälde die Ideen der Hudson River School zu ihrem dramatischsten Höhepunkt. (Web Gallery of Art)
