1846 -1867 · Cataract, steam and continental power
Niagara, Tequendama, Colombia and Rochester show Church facing vertical water: the view brings the viewer closer to the edge and transforms flow, mist and fall into a physical experience.
Frederic Edwin Church studied Niagara for years before presenting an immense composition in 1857 which enjoyed international success. He adopts a low and close point of view, reduces human landmarks and lets the curve of the cataract lead the gaze towards the mist. The version from the American side modifies access to the site and the relationship between shore, water and depth. Church also paints the Tequendama Falls near Bogota, discovered during his travels in New Granada: the high waterfall is part of a tropical gorge whose vegetation and steam differ radically from Niagara. Other Colombian waterfalls, Lower Falls in Rochester and Rutland Falls in vermont allows you to compare continental scale and regional pattern. The artist observes the structure of the water, its greens, its whites and the damp dust which erases the base. His paintings contribute to the 19th century fascination with spectacular natural sites, tourism and American identity, while maintaining a precision constructed by studies. The selection "Niagara and waterfalls by Frederic Edwin Church" notably compares Niagara Falls from the American side and Niagara. Its reading favors light.
Church places the viewer before the fall: the eye follows the still horizontal water until the landscape disappears in its own vapor.
