Rainy Season in the Tropics, an 1866 painting by the American landscape painter
Frederic Edwin Church. A central figure in the
Hudson River School, Church was inspired by
romanticism and
luminism in his depictions of dramatic natural phenomena. He traveled widely, including twice to South America (as here), but also around the Mediterranean and the Middle East.
Rainy Season in the Tropics has often been associated with Church's Aurora Borealis, both as a completion of an arctic-tropical sequence which also includes The Heart of the Andes and The Icebergs, and because of similar luminosity and composition which suggest a "renewed optimism in natural and historic events".Painting: Frederic Edwin Church
