"Aurora Borealis" is a striking oil painting by the American landscape artist Frederic Edwin Church (1826–1900), created in 1865. This masterpiece is part of Church's extensive body of work that captures the awe-inspiring beauty of natural phenomena, reflecting the artist's keen observation and the influence of the Hudson River School, of which he was a central figure. The painting, measuring 142.3 cm × 212.2 cm (56 in × 83.5 in), is housed in the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.

The artwork depicts a vivid and dramatic portrayal of the Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, illuminating the dark, icy landscape below. Church's inspiration for "Aurora Borealis" came from a combination of sources, including the scientific expeditions of the time, particularly the Arctic explorations of Dr. Isaac Israel Hayes. Hayes's descriptions of the Northern Lights influenced Church, who was known for his meticulous approach to capturing natural details and atmospheric effects.

In "Aurora Borealis," Church masterfully uses light and color to evoke the ethereal and dynamic quality of the aurora, with swirling hues of green, red, and yellow against a dark sky, reflecting off the ice and water below. The composition is both dramatic and serene, with a small human figure and a sled in the foreground, emphasizing the vastness and majesty of the natural scene.

The painting is celebrated for its technical brilliance, emotional depth, and its representation of the sublime, a key theme in Romantic art. It reflects Church's interest in conveying the power and beauty of nature, as well as the period's fascination with exploration and the natural sciences. "Aurora Borealis" is not only a testament to Church's skill as a painter but also an important document of 19th-century American art and the cultural context in which it was created. Through this work, Church invites viewers to marvel at the wonders of the natural world, capturing a moment of transcendent beauty and the eternal dialogue between humanity and nature.
