The painting\u2019s diminutive size belies Church\u2019s larger ambitions. Having recently become one of the youngest painters ever elected to New York\u2019s National Academy of Design, he spent his time in Vermont producing small studies to incorporate into larger canvases that he would exhibit in New York the following year.<sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0Among the most important of these works were two paintings of sunsets over Vermont meadows:\u00a0<em>Ira Mountain, Vermont<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Twilight, \u201cShort Arbiter \u2019twixt Day and Night\u201d<\/em>\u00a0(both shown here). Neither picture corresponds exactly to this study in its composition. What they share is Church\u2019s attention to the spectacular effects of the sun\u2019s passage over the horizon, when the sky sets itself ablaze and transforms terrestrial bodies into shadowy silhouettes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-divider ub_divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" id=\"ub_divider_6399f5fa-d875-449f-a9e3-34b9aa04afaa\"><div class=\"ub_divider_wrapper\" style=\"position: relative; margin-bottom: 2px; width: 100%; height: 2px; \" data-divider-alignment=\"center\"><div class=\"ub_divider_line\" style=\"border-top: 2px solid #ccc; margin-top: 2px; \"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>1.

On the lower left, a farmer is driving a wagon along a fence line behind a group of sheep. At the spatial and thematic center, the sun illuminates the landscape from behind and the sky from below. Most likely focused on the task at hand, the farmer is nonetheless headed up toward and almost into the sun. The word \u201csun\u201d appears over a hundred times in Thoreau\u2019s\u00a0<em>Walden; or, Life in the Woods<\/em>\u00a0(1854), including in this passage from the \u201cEconomy\u201d chapter that Church\u2019s landscape brought to mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>To anticipate, not the sunrise and the dawn merely, but, if possible, Nature herself!

No doubt, many of my townsmen have met me returning from this enterprise, farmers starting for Boston in the twilight, or woodchoppers going to their work. It is true, I never assisted the sun materially in his rising, but, doubt not, it was of the last importance only to be present at it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-not-stacked-on-mobile has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#f1f1f1\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong><strong>Gregory Fried<\/strong><\/strong><br>Professor, Philosophy<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2025\/03\/fried.jpg\" alt=\"Gregory Fried\" class=\"wp-image-3841\" style=\"width:78px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2025\/03\/fried.jpg 200w, https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2025\/03\/fried-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When Church painted this small landscape in August of 1849, he was only twenty-three years old, but he was already three years out from a two-year apprenticeship with the landscape painter, Thomas Cole (1801\u201348). With Cole, he had toured the Catskills of New York and the Berkshires of Massachusetts to sketch vistas for studio work; this scene evokes rural New England. It is at once very unlike Church\u2019s famous mature paintings, yet nevertheless hints at his late work. First, it looks as if it were painted on scene, not worked up in the studio using sketches, as was Church\u2019s norm. It has an immediacy and an intimacy absent from his famous grand landscapes. A naivete in Church\u2019s brushwork here fits the modest, rural world of Yankee farmers. Yet, a blinding burst of sun threatens to immolate the scene, overwhelming the purple-gray hill in the distance, its late summer light held at bay only by small trees in the foreground. Church\u2019s brushwork accentuates the sunburst with long, linear strokes that radiate from the focal point. The tiny figure riding away in his wagon, almost certainly a farmer given his white shirt and black vest and tall, wide-brimmed hat, seems both oblivious to and unaffected by the sublime, overwhelming sun-stroke and his wagon catching an unappreciated red lick of light on its side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the late 1840s, Church was falling under the influence of the German naturalist and philosopher, Alexander von Humboldt (1769\u20131859), who challenged artists to travel widely from home to give witness to the world\u2019s glories. Within ten years, Church\u2019s massive canvasses of majestic scenes would win him glory in America and Europe. Those later paintings cudgel viewers over the head with their monumental visions; this one invites them not to ignore the transcendent present amid the normalcy of nature, on a scale any of us could hang on our wall. Like the aptly named transcendentalists, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803\u201382) and Henry David Thoreau (1817\u201362), who were establishing their voices as writers in this decade, here Church wanted to illuminate the experience of awe in the nearness of the everyday in nature.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-3816_8784c8-42 .kt-block-spacer{height:60px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-3816_8784c8-42 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#f1f1f1;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-3816_8784c8-42 .kt-divider{width:100%!important;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-3816_8784c8-42\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"383\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2025\/01\/mcmullen-logo-gold-1024x383.png\" alt=\"Logo Gold\" class=\"wp-image-2910\" style=\"width:569px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2025\/01\/mcmullen-logo-gold-1024x383.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2025\/01\/mcmullen-logo-gold-300x112.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2025\/01\/mcmullen-logo-gold-768x287.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2025\/01\/mcmullen-logo-gold.png 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frederic Edwin Church (1826\u20131900)New England Landscape, 1849 Oil on canvasMcMullen Museum of Art, Boston College, Carolyn A. and Peter S.
