Church gained fame for his painting Heart of the Andes, now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Church displayed this photo at a Salon in NY, where is was kept behind curtains. People were awe-struck when it was unveiled. They waited in line to pay admission just to get a glimpse of an exotic locale like this. Remember this was painted in a time before photography and travel was impractical or impossible./ artist
