Frederic
Edwin Church was a painter, born in Hartford, Connecticut,
May 4, 1826. When quite young he became a pupil of Thomas
Cole at Catskill, New York, where his first pictures were
painted, he early established himself in New York, and
in 1849 was elected a member of the National academy.
In 1853 and 1857 he visited South America, and made many
sketches of tropical and Andean scenery, which he afterward
developed into large pictures. Several years later an
expedition to the coast of Labrador gave him material
for his great picture entitled "Icebergs," which attracted
much attention on its exhibition in London in 1863.
