(*) Humboldt, whose voyages inspired its creation.
This painting's creation is inspired by one author's treatise, that a certain genre of "grander style Â… heroic painting Â… must be fertilized by the powers of the mind." It was made into a steel engraving by William Forest. At the New York premiere of this painting, whose landscape was the subject of Theodore Winthrop and Louis Legrand's treatises, its wooden frame was the subject of much criticism. The idea for it came from the author's reading of Kosmos and its painter wrote to Bayard Taylor in an effort to show it to von (*) Humboldt, whose voyages inspired its creation. Notable objects in it include the hamlet next to the river bank in the middle background, the cross and man in red on a nature path in the left foreground, to the right of which is a waterfall. For 10 points, name this painting depicting the mountain Chimborazo, a work of Frederick Church.
