Niagara Falls was the single most frequently depicted landscape in the Americas from 1800 to 1860. We’ll explore some of the earliest depictions in the 1818 work of Louisa Davis Minot and the 1857 work of Frederick Edwin Church, the only American painting to win a medal at the 1867 Paris Exposition. The late 19th-century paintings of Niagara Falls will be represented by iconic artists such as Albert Bierstadt, George Inness, and John Twachtman. Niagara Falls continues to inspire into the 21st century. Click here to register.
