Of all the mixed motives that went to the evolution of church architecture in the middle ages, this rivalry in ostentation was probably the most fertile in the creation of new forms.
Paul was led on to grasp the conception of one church universal manifested in all the local churches.
As has been well said, " the church is primarily a witness—the strength of its authority lies in the many sides from which the witness comes." It witnesses to the Divine Life of Christ as a power of the present and of the future as of the past, ministered in the Word and sacraments.

 FREDERIC EDWIN CHURCH 1826
Church was not only painting views of specific American places with topographical exactitude, he was also combining separate elements of meticulously detailed scenery into landscapes of heroic breadth and depth.
Church was inspired by the fascinating variety and complexity of nature as extolled by John Ruskin, the English writer, critic, and champion of J. Turner.
Church, at the end of his active painting career, like many American painters in the last decades of the nineteenth century, sought through light a poetic unity in place of a scientific one based on a painstaking detailing of the physical world.

 Frederic Church
Church's first finished South American pictures, shown to great acclaim in 1855, transformed his career; for the next decade he devoted a great part of his attention to those subjects, producing a celebrated series that became the basis of his ensuing international fame.
Church's happiness was blasted in March of 1865, when his son and his daughter died of diphtheria, but with the birth of Frederic junior in 1866, Church and his wife began a new family that was eventually to number four children.
Church, however, began to devote his creative energies increasingly to gentleman farming and to the designing and redesigning of Olana, his hilltop fantasy of a "Persian" villa at Hudson, New York, a seemingly endless undertaking begun in 1869 in consultation with the architect Calvert Vaux.

Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900) is the most grandiloquent and vivid American landscape painter whose greatest works inspired awe about natural wonders and their splendor and who carried forward the "manifest destiny" of a wilderness that nurtured his teacher, Thomas Cole, the founder of the Hudson River School of painting.
A few of Church’s early landscapes follow closely in the typical Hudson River School style established by Cole: horizontal pastoral scenes that accurately depict real sites at their best, which is to say, in marvelous light and only rarely encumbered with human intrusion: pure, gentle wilderness of memorable and tranquil beauty.
Church also painted many small charming views of the Hudson River and the Catskills from his Olana, his home in upstate New York that has many of his best works such as his scene of Petra and is open to the public as a museum.

 Haber's Art Reviews: 1900 at the Guggenheim and F. E. Church
Church never toys with scale, but he does alter scenes, for he often finds a vantage point where no one could really stand, much as Asher B. Durand had done earlier in the Hudson River School, but with greater drama.
In Church's art, a deeply red sun or icy mountain loom up, apart from the foreground but pressed down by the weight and color of clouds or the ash spewed from a volcano.
One misses his growth from a clear, flattening light taken from Thomas Cole, to a precision in drawing, and ultimately to a soft light, surpassing even that of Sanford Robinson Gifford, that holds in place these dramas of experience.

 Church, Frederic
Trained by Thomas Cole, Church relied far more than his teacher on fluent, accurate outdoor oil sketches and avoided conventional devices, opening up his compositions for boundless spatial effects.
Inspired by the writings of the naturalist Alexander Humboldt Church, he explored South America, Labrador and the Caribbean, painting volcanoes, icebergs and tropical scenes.
In his last years, crippled with rheumatism, Church turned from painting views to creating vistas on the estate surrounding Olana, his Victorian-Persian mansion overlooking the Hudson.

This was an unusual honour, though Cole probably offered little useful technical instruction—he once observed that Church already had ‘the finest eye for drawing in the world’.
However, Cole did convey certain deeply held ideas about landscape painting, above all the belief that the artist had a moral duty to address not only the physical reality of the external world but also complex and profound ideas about mankind and the human condition.
Church eventually abandoned the overtly allegorical style favoured by his teacher, but he never wavered from his commitment to the creation of meaningful and instructive images.
