Humboldt's influence in the case of the landscape artist Church is especially interesting. If we examine the precise relationship between the German explorer and his American admirer, we gain an insight into how Humboldt transformed Church's life and signaled a new phase in the career of the artist. Church retraced Humboldt's travels in Ecuador and in Mexico. If we compare the texts available to Church and the comparison of Church's paintings and the texts and images of Humboldt's works we can arrive at new perspectives on Humboldt's extraordinary influence on American landscape painting in the nineteenth century.}, language = {en} } @misc{LeitnerBaronClarketal.2005, author = {Leitner, Ulrike and Baron, Frank and Clark, Rex and Doherr, Detlev and Griep, Wolfgang and Schn{\"o}pf, Markus}, title = {HiN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz = Humboldt Digital Library}, volume = {VI}, number = {10}, editor = {Ette, Ottmar and Knobloch, Eberhard}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1617-5239}, doi = {10.18443/hinvol6iss102005}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-35175}, pages = {82}, year = {2005}, abstract = {- Ulrike Leitner: Einleitung - Frank Baron: From Alexander von Humboldt to Frederic Edwin Church: Voyages of Scientific Exploration and Artistic Creativity - Rex Clark: Alexander von Humboldt's Images of Landscape and the ‚Chaos of the Poets - Detlev Doherr: The Humboldt Digital Library: Exploring Innovative Structures - Wolfgang Griep: Die Bedeutung der Umkreisquellen f{\"u}r Alexander von Humboldts s{\"u}damerikanische Reise - Ulrike Leitner: Vielschichtigkeit und Komplexit{\"a}t im Reisewerk Alexander von Humboldts - Bibliographischer Hintergrund - Markus Schnoepf: El Proyecto Humboldt: Una biblioteca digital para las expediciones cient{\´i}ficas a las Islas Canarias}, language = {de} }
