Over het schilderij
Dominating this composition is a lightning-blasted tree embodying nature's awe-inspiring power and endless cycle of life and death. A popular motif because of these associations, the blasted tree was favored by many landscape painters like Church, who prominently featured it here.

Church’s first recorded sale was a pastoral painting of Thomas Hooker’s journey of 1636, bought by the Wadsworth Atheneum for $130; the painter’s ancestor, the Puritan Richard Church, had accompanied Hooker. Other accounts have him selling a picture to the Atheneum after his 1848 exhibition.

A New York studio and his first pupil
Church opened a studio in New York and took his first pupil, William Stillman. As a rule he sketched outdoors from spring to autumn and finished and sold his pictures in winter.
