Frederic Church's Olana
Olana is the Persian-inspired home, studio and artist-designed landscape of painter Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900). Located on the east bank of the Hudson River, near Hudson, New York, Olana evinces the painter's love of the dramatic and grand. Overlooking 60 miles of the Hudson River Valley, the towered stone mansion, with its oriental flavor, symbolizes the spirit and vitality of one of America's ablest nineteenth-century artists, a leader among American artists in a period that has been described as the most prosperous time in the history of American art (1840-1876).
