"Clouds over Olana" is a painting by Frederic Edwin Church (1826–1900), an American landscape painter who was a central figure in the Hudson River School of art. This particular work is notable for its depiction of the skies above Olana, Church's home and estate in Hudson, New York, which he designed and situated to offer expansive views of the Hudson Valley and the Catskill Mountains. The painting is emblematic of Church's fascination with atmospheric effects and his adeptness at capturing the transient beauty of the natural world.

Created in the latter part of Church's career, "Clouds over Olana" reflects a period when the artist was increasingly drawn to the skies and celestial phenomena as subjects for his art. The work is characterized by a dramatic expanse of sky, with clouds rendered in meticulous detail, showcasing Church's skill in portraying light and shadow as well as his nuanced understanding of color. The landscape below the clouds, while present, often takes on a secondary role in such compositions, serving as a grounding element against the ethereal and ever-changing sky.

As with many of Church's paintings, "Clouds over Olana" is imbued with a sense of the sublime, a quality that Church and his contemporaries sought to capture as they depicted the American wilderness and its skies. The painting invites viewers to contemplate the vastness of nature and the interplay between the earthly and the divine. It is a testament to Church's enduring legacy as an artist who could convey the awe-inspiring aspects of the natural world while also offering a personal glimpse into the environment that inspired much of his work.

"Clouds over Olana" is part of the collection at the Olana State Historic Site, which preserves Church's home and studio as well as the surrounding landscape that he meticulously designed. The site is now a museum and public park, which continues to attract visitors who come to experience the same views that inspired Church's artistic vision. The painting remains an important piece within Church's oeuvre, exemplifying his mastery of landscape painting and his deep connection to the environment around Olana.
