Mount Katahdin from Lake Millinocket 1878

"Mount Katahdin from Lake Millinocket" is a painting by Frederic Edwin Church, a prominent figure in the Hudson River School of American landscape painting. This 1878 artwork depicts a serene vista of Mount Katahdin, the highest peak in Maine, as seen from across Lake Millinocket. Church's meticulous attention to detail and the use of soft, atmospheric light are characteristic of his style, which often celebrated the grandeur and beauty of the American wilderness. The painting is currently held in the Cooper Hewitt (Smithsonian Design) Museum in New York City.
