 The Life Journey of One of the Most Famous American Painters

 Frederic Edwin Church was pretty much committed to his scope of natural sciences. But he was also pretty much concerned about adding a spiritual dimension to all of his works. His father was a watchmaker and silversmith in Hartford, and it was the source of their family’s bread & butter. When Frederic was 18 years, he took the mantle of being the pupil of Thomas Cole in the city of Catskill, New York. In 1848, he was elected as an associate of the National Academy of Design. Later, he was promoted to be the Academician in 1849. After that, he sold off his first art to Wadsworth Atheneum of Hartford. Church then settled in New York and taught his pupil, William James Stillman. Church would preferably travel from spring to autumn, by foot, in order to sketch and paint. Every winter, he returns home to paint and then sells off his works. He died on April 7, 1900.
