Thomas Moran was
an American painter and printmaker of the Hudson River School in New York whose
work often featured the Rocky Mountains. Moran and his family, wife Mary Nimmo
Moran and daughter Ruth, took residence in New York where he obtained work as
an artist. He was a younger brother of the noted marine artist Edward Moran,
with whom he shared a studio. A talented illustrator and exquisite colorist,
Thomas Moran was hired as an illustrator at Scribner's Monthly. During the late
1860s, he was appointed the chief illustrator for the magazine, a position that
helped him launch his career as one of the premier painters of the American
landscape, in particular, the American West. Moran along with Albert Bierstadt,
Thomas Hill, and William Keith are sometimes referred to as belonging to the
Rocky Mountain School of landscape painters because of all of the Western
landscapes made by this group. The Thomas Moran House in East Hampton, New York
is a National Historic Landmark. Mount Moran in the Grand Teton National Park
is named for Moran. His work is held in the collection of the Gilcrease Museum
in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, the Amon Carter
Museum of American Art, R. W. Norton Art Gallery, and the Berkshire Museum in
Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
