Niagara Falls was and continues to be a landmark in America,
and a wonder unlike
any other. Since its discovery in an 1678 expedition by
European, Louis
Hennepin, the falls have been an example of what artists called,
the sublime. The
sublime is a term that is defined by “...experiences that go
beyond the everyday,
that inspire awe, that involve a sense of grandeur, that elevate
one’s thoughts and
feelings and that exceed the capacity of human descriptive
powers” (Dickens,
69). Niagara Falls became a symbol of spiritual majesty.
Frederic E. Church was highly influenced by the Hudson River
School, an institution
of the time period that produced a generation of artists with an
identifiable style.
He incorporated stylistic ideas from the school that can be seen
when one looks
over the panoramic view of the painting as well as its idealized
and enhanced
characteristics.
Church’s Niagara is a detailed example of what the American
landscape had to offer
to the rest of the world. It creation is crucial

Niagara, (1855)
Oil on canvas
(40 x 90 ½ In.)
Niagara is one of Frederic E. Church’s paintings of the raw
wonders of American
landscape. In 1855, he experienced the Canadian side of
Niagara Falls and
created sketches that were later transformed into one of his
most well-known
panoramic paintings. This viewpoint of Niagara Falls is
uncommon because he
chose to take away the foreground, placing the viewer at the
edge of the water.
Church also kept to traditional techniques specifically attributed
to the styles
produced by the Hudson River School, like realism based on
observation seen in
Niagara. This way of landscape depiction unified painters of the
natural world.
