Another painting for close-up review is "West Rock, New Haven" by Frederic Edwin Church. One thing I noted about this painting is the massive number of leaves that is perceivable in the trees. Church painted very detailed paintings... just about every square inch of this painting is in focus and clear.
(Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900)
West Rock, New Haven, 1849

Oil on Canvas)
(The trees are full of clear and crisp detail)
Frederic Church is one of my favorite Hudson River School painters. Seeing his work up close on this visit grew my respect and awe for his incredible talent.
