"Mount Ktaadn" (also known as "Mount Katahdin") is a notable landscape painting by the American artist Frederic Edwin Church, completed in 1853. As a prominent figure of the Hudson River School, Church was renowned for his detailed and dramatic depictions of natural scenes. The painting portrays the grandeur of Mount Katahdin, the highest mountain in the state of Maine, and reflects Church's fascination with the American wilderness.

The artwork measures 30 3/16 x 45 1/8 inches (76.7 x 114.6 cm) and is executed in oil on canvas. It is part of the collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. "Mount Ktaadn" captures the rugged beauty of the Maine landscape, a subject that Church visited in person during an 1850 expedition. The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and use of light, which was a hallmark of Church's style and indicative of the Hudson River School's aesthetic principles.

The composition of "Mount Ktaadn" is marked by a dramatic contrast between the serene lake in the foreground and the imposing presence of the mountain in the background. The interplay of light and shadow, along with the rich palette of colors, imbues the scene with a sense of awe and sublimity. This work is a testament to Church's skill in capturing the essence of America's natural landscapes and his ability to evoke emotional responses through his art.

"Mount Ktaadn" is not only a significant piece within Frederic Edwin Church's oeuvre but also an important example of mid-19th-century American landscape painting. It reflects the era's growing interest in the exploration and preservation of the natural environment, as well as the influence of Romanticism in the visual arts. The painting has been widely studied and admired for its artistic merit and historical significance, contributing to the understanding of America's cultural and natural heritage.
