"Tequendama Falls Near Bogotá, New Granada" is a notable landscape painting by the American artist Frederic Edwin Church (1826–1900), a central figure in the Hudson River School of American landscape painters. Created in 1854, the artwork depicts the Tequendama Falls (Salto del Tequendama), a renowned natural attraction located near Bogotá in what was then known as New Granada, present-day Colombia. The painting is an exemplar of Church's fascination with South America and his adeptness at capturing the grandeur and drama of exotic landscapes.

The canvas measures 36 1/8 x 26 1/8 inches (91.8 x 66.4 cm) and is part of the collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Church's portrayal of the Tequendama Falls is imbued with a sense of romanticism and sublime beauty, characteristics that are emblematic of the Hudson River School's aesthetic principles. The painting showcases Church's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to render the interplay of light and shadow, which brings the scene to life.

Church was inspired by the writings of the German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt, whose accounts of his travels in South America were widely read at the time. Humboldt's descriptions of the continent's landscapes influenced Church's decision to undertake two expeditions to South America, in 1853 and 1857, where he sketched and studied the diverse environments. "Tequendama Falls Near Bogotá, New Granada" was a product of Church's first South American journey and reflects his initial encounter with the continent's majestic scenery.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context. It represents the era's spirit of exploration and discovery, as well as the burgeoning interest in the natural world among the American and European public. Church's work played a role in shaping the perception of South America as a land of untamed wilderness and spectacular landscapes, contributing to the romanticized vision of the New World that was prevalent during the 19th century.

"Tequendama Falls Near Bogotá, New Granada" continues to be admired for its technical brilliance and its evocative portrayal of one of South America's natural wonders. It stands as a testament to Frederic Edwin Church's legacy as one of the foremost American landscape painters of his time.
