Drawing, Clouds and Rainbow over a Mountain Valley
This is a drawing. It was created by Frederic Edwin Church. It is dated 1845-1865 and we acquired it in 1917. Its medium is oil on paperboard. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
While the primary focus of the museum was pre-19th-century European decorative arts, an exception was made for sketches from American artists such as Winslow Homer, Thomas Moran, Robert Blum, and Frederic Edwin Church. The Women’s Art School requested that the museum acquire figural drawings. “As quickly as they can be acquired,” Eleanor wrote, “leaves from the note and sketch books of artists of the last half of the 19th century, and the present day, are being placed [on the walls of the corridors and staircases].”
