Albert Bierstadt
Albert Bierstadt (January 7, 1830 – February 18, 1902) was a German-American painter best known for his lavish, sweeping landscapes of the American
West. In obtaining the subject matter for these works, Bierstadt
joined several journeys of the Westward Expansion. 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 was part of the Hudson River School, not an institution but rather an
informal group of like-minded painters. The Hudson River School style involved
carefully detailed paintings with romantic, almost glowing lighting, sometimes
called luminism. An important interpreter of the western
landscape, Bierstadt, along with Thomas Moran, is also grouped with the Rocky Mountain
School.[1]
