Autumn 1875

"Autumn", created in 1875 by Frederic Edwin Church, depicts a serene landscape of a river flowing through a dense forest. The scene, bathed in the soft, golden light of the setting sun, evokes a sense of peace and tranquility. The Hudson River School artist uses meticulous detail and a warm color palette to capture the beauty of nature, emphasizing the changing colors of autumn. The painting, now held by the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, is a testament to Church's mastery of landscape painting.
