As one of the most significant artists to emerge from the Hudson River School, Frederic Edwin Church, alongside his teacher Thomas Cole, is known for allegorical landscape paintings that are closer in intent and style to Romanticism in Europe than any other American artist. Church's paintings, too, were compositions designed and elaborated by him on the basis of sketches he had made on his journeys inspired by Alexander von Humboldt. As with the romantics, being close to nature, closeness to God and patriotism are central to Church's work. Thus, the northern lights appear on the eponymous painting a halo in the colors of the US flag (blue, white and red) as an overwhelming spectacle of nature in the sky.
