Mountain Landscape is an 1849 painting by American landscape painter Frederic Edwin Church. It is an early period painting that was created in the studio based on Church's memories from traveling to southern Vermont. At one time, it was thought to depict West Rock, New Haven, which was later discounted. Percy Sloan, the son of Hudson River School painter Junius R. Sloan, purchased the painting in 1950 from the Art Institute of Chicago, donating it with 400 other artworks to Valparaiso University just three years later.
Until 2024, the painting was held by the Brauer Museum of Art, but is currently undergoing deaccessioning to fund the renovation of two residence halls at Valparaiso University, a decision that was protested by the faculty, students, and larger art community due to the ethical guidelines followed by museums when entering the deaccessioning process, which requires them to reinvest the proceeds from any art sale back into the museum's art collection.
