Recenzje

"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
