However, this wasn’t simply photographic representation; Church infused his work with a dramatic flair, employing sweeping panoramic views, vibrant color palettes, and a masterful command of atmospheric perspective. This influence is evident in Church’s later expeditions to South America and his attempts to convey not just the visual beauty of these landscapes but also their underlying geological and botanical complexities. The influence of Thomas Cole was paramount; Church absorbed Cole’s emphasis on dramatic light and atmospheric effects, while developing his own distinctive approach to composition and color.
