The Icebergs, Frederic Edwin Church
On Wikimedia Commons, larger here. Original is in the Dallas Museum of Art. There is an article about the painting on the Wall Street Journal. You can get a sense of the scale of the painting in this photo from Steve Doherty’s blog.
Just in case you haven’t seen enough ice yet.
Mr. Parker,
Thank you for this. I saw The Icebergs at the Dallas Museum of Art twenty-five years ago and never forgot it. It is magnificent.
Your blog is a delight and I look forward to reading it. Thanks for that too.
Best regards,
Brett Lee
I’m amazed at the diversity in color Church captures in something we normally think of as fairly monochromatic.
