Artist Albert Bierstadt, 1830-1902, was an American landscape painter of German descent, painting in oil on the heels of the American Romantic era of the mid-19th century, in the style of the Hudson River School. Albert Bierstadt's paintings and artwork are grand, luminous depictions of natural America, from the White Mountains and Saco River of New Hampshire, to the Rockies and California's Yosemite and Sierra Nevada, and also Washington state's Cascade Mountains and Puget Sound. As an artist, Albert Bierstadt painted his landscapes in Romantic realism. The scenery is sharp and clear, but also infused with radiant light, sometimes reflected off rock faces or water, hanging in the background as shimmering mist, or flickering through trees in rays of sunlight. Though not the first artist to record these sites, Bierstadt was the foremost painter of these scenes for the remainder of the 19th century. Bierstadt's paintings are highly prized having sold upwards of $700,000 and have been displayed in many art museums including The Metropolitan museum of Art in NYC, and The Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. This beautiful museum quality painting is similar to his painting, "Rocky Mountains", and has been enhanced by the artist himself, no marring is noted on painting, slight chips on edges of wood frame. The classic American style gold gilt wood frame measures 43.5"W x 57.5"L, 33.75"W x 47.5"L visible art.
