Church is also well known for his South American views, his hugely successful Niagara, 1857 (The Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.), exotic subjects such as The Icebergs, 1861 (Dallas Museum of Fine Arts), and views of the Middle East. By the 1850s, however, Church leaned toward a more objective rendition of landscape, particularly in his New England scenes. Church’s early work, such as The Hooker Company Journeying Through the Wilderness, continues an allegorical trend of growing importance in Cole’s late work.
