Biography
Albert Bierstadt was a German-American painter best known for his large landscapes of the American West. Bierstadt joined several journeys of the Westward Expansion in order to obtain the images he was interested in. 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.
