"Mount Ktaadn" is an oil painting by the American landscape artist Frederic Edwin Church (1826–1900), completed in 1853. The painting depicts Mount Katahdin, the highest mountain in the state of Maine and a renowned landmark of the Northeastern United States. Church, a central figure in the Hudson River School of landscape painters, was known for his detailed and dramatic representations of natural scenes, and "Mount Ktaadn" is no exception. The work is emblematic of Church's fascination with the American wilderness and his adeptness at capturing its sublime beauty.

The painting measures 30 3/16 x 45 1/8 inches (76.7 x 114.6 cm) and is part of the collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. In "Mount Ktaadn," Church presents a view of the mountain from the west, showcasing the rugged terrain and the serene yet powerful presence of the peak. The composition is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, a hallmark of Church's style, which emphasizes the grandeur and the spiritual significance of the natural world.

Church's journey to Maine and his subsequent creation of "Mount Ktaadn" were inspired by the writings of Henry David Thoreau, who visited the mountain in 1846 and recorded his experiences in "The Maine Woods." Church's portrayal of Mount Katahdin is not only a testament to his technical skill but also reflects the broader 19th-century American cultural and philosophical movement known as Transcendentalism, which revered nature as a source of spiritual insight and inspiration.

"Mount Ktaadn" is considered one of Church's early masterpieces and is notable for its early expression of environmental appreciation and the artist's commitment to capturing the untamed beauty of the American landscape. The painting is a significant work within Church's oeuvre and the larger canon of American art, representing a moment in time when artists were actively engaging with the wilderness and contributing to the nation's developing sense of identity and appreciation for its natural wonders.
