Albert Bierstadt
(January 7, 1830 - February 18, 1902) was a German-American
painter best known for his large 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.
