Born to a wealthy family, Church took up art studies at an early age and apprenticed for two years with the renowned British landscape painter Thomas Cole, who had relocated to The entire Aldrichimica Acta archive is available at Aldrich.com/acta. the U.S. and co-founded the Hudson River School of landscape painting.
