The story of Niagara
Niagara is an oil painting produced in 1857 by the American artist Frederic Edwin Church. Niagara, which portrays the Horseshoe Falls portion of Niagara Falls, was Church's most important work at the time and confirmed his reputation as the premier American landscape painter of the era. In his history of Niagara Falls, Pierre Berton writes, "Of the hundreds of paintings made of Niagara, before Church and after him, this is by common consent the greatest."
