Aurora Borealis

Aurora Borealis by Frederic Edwin Church is a grand painting of the Northern Lights. Church depicts a magnificent and awe-inspiring sky as is the trend with romantic paintings. The sky has brilliant hues of red and blue and everything in between. The painting also shows one lone ship in the water once again signifying Mother Nature’s power over man. This painting instills a feeling of danger but beauty. Both seem to be directly proportional as the more danger that is faced the more beauty there is to be seen it seems.
