Albert Bierstadt (1830–1902) was a German-born American painter best known for his lavish, sweepinglandscapes of theAmerican West. He joined several journeys of theWestward Expansion to paint the scenes.
Bierstadt became part of the second generation of theHudson River School inNew York, an informal group of like-minded painters who started painting along theHudson River.[1] Their style was based on carefully detailed paintings withromantic, almost glowing lighting, sometimes calledluminism. Bierstadt was an important interpreter of the western landscape, and he is also grouped with the Rocky Mountain School.
Many of his works depict natural formations within National Parks, such asYosemite andYellowstone.
