Sobre a pintura
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 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.
