Inventory of Paintings

This handwritten catalog documents works in the collection of American landscape painter Frederic Edwin Church. The list records paintings by title and subject matter, including biblical and historical scenes—*St. Catherine*, *Magdalen*, *Dead Christ*, *St. Carlino*—alongside classical and romantic subjects. Church's meticulous inventory reflects the curatorial practices of nineteenth-century artists who maintained detailed records of their studios. As a leading figure of the Hudson River School, Church organized his works systematically, preserving information essential to understanding his prolific output and artistic interests during this period of his career.
