"David La Spina’s hauntingly beautiful photographs of the view from Olana echo the shifting play of color and light that the 19th century artist Frederic Church sought to capture in his exquisite, obsessive oil sketches of the Hudson Valley.Frederic Church’s Olana is situated across the Hudson River with a view of his mentor Thomas Cole’s home in Catskill, New York." — Victoria Johnson, author of 'Glorious Country' a Church biography.
The vista from Church’s studio, overlooks a portion of the Olana ‘Viewshed,’ a collection of land protected by The Olana Partnership. The photographs were made from a fixed point in the author’s home with the same angle of view as Church’s studio.
