Tamaca Palms by Frederic Edwin Church https://www.nga.gov/artworks/166437-tamaca-palms
Frederic Church noted that this was “the first South American picture [he] ever painted.” He made it a year after visiting present-day Colombia and Ecuador, traveling through lush river valleys and climbing snow-capped volcanoes. The title names a type of palm that Church sketched during his travels and carefully depicted on the left side of this painting.
