"Mount Chimborazo, Ecuador" is an oil painting by the American landscape artist Frederic Edwin Church (1826–1900), part of the second generation of the Hudson River School painters. Created in 1864, the painting depicts Mount Chimborazo, one of Ecuador's highest peaks, and reflects Church's fascination with the Andean landscape, which he visited during two extensive trips to South America in the 1850s. Church's work is renowned for its meticulous detail, dramatic use of light, and romantic portrayal of the natural world.

The painting is significant for its representation of the grandeur of the Ecuadorian Andes and its embodiment of the 19th-century American sublime aesthetic. Church's portrayal of Mount Chimborazo is not just a geographical depiction but also a symbol of the untamed and majestic forces of nature. The artist's interest in the region was partly inspired by the writings of the German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt, who explored Latin America and whose work influenced many artists and scientists of the era.

"Mount Chimborazo, Ecuador" is characterized by its dramatic sky, the interplay of light and shadow, and the detailed rendering of the mountain's snow-capped peak and surrounding landscape. Church's attention to detail and his ability to capture the varying effects of light on the natural environment are evident in this work. The painting is an example of Church's mastery of large-scale landscape paintings and his ability to evoke both the physical and emotional presence of the places he depicted.

As with many of Church's paintings, "Mount Chimborazo, Ecuador" was well-received and contributed to his reputation as one of the foremost American landscape painters of his time. The painting is part of a larger body of work that helped define American landscape painting in the 19th century and continues to be celebrated for its artistic and historical significance. It remains an important piece within the collections of American art and is studied for its contribution to the visual culture of the United States during a period of expansion and exploration.

The painting is held in a public or private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of Church's work and the broader context of American landscape painting. Its influence extends to both art history and the appreciation of the natural beauty found in the Americas.
