Albert Bierstadt was a German-American painter best known for his lavish,
sweeping landscapes of the American West. He joined several journeys of the
Westward Expansion to paint the scenes. He was not the first artist to record
the sites, but he was the foremost painter of them for the remainder of the
19th century. Bierstadt was born in Prussia, but his family moved to the United
States when he was one year old. He returned to study painting for several
years in Düsseldorf. He became part of the second generation of the Hudson
River School in New York, an informal group of like-minded painters who started
painting along the Hudson River. Their style was based on carefully detailed
paintings with romantic, almost glowing lighting, sometimes called luminism.
Bierstadt was an important interpreter of the western landscape, and he is also
grouped with the Rocky Mountain School. In 1882, a fire destroyed Bierstadt's
studio at Irvington, New York, and with it many of his paintings. By the time
of his death on February 18, 1902, the taste for epic landscape painting had
long since subsided. Bierstadt was then largely forgotten. He was buried at the
Rural Cemetery in New Bedford, Massachusetts.
