Reviews
"While the beauty of Frederic Church's Hudson Valley estate Olana is stunning in person, this book lets the arm-chair visitor experience the paintings, landscape and historic house that were all part of Church's artistic vision. Essays from specialists like a curator, historian and architect explore all aspects of the 19th century artist's work, while reproductions of dozens of his paintings juxtaposed with the views he created in the landscape make clear the grand work he carefully cultivated around him." -Brownstoner
