Collection: Albert Bierstadt

Albert Bierstadt saw the American West before most of the country did — and painted it on a scale that matched the landscape itself. A central figure of the Hudson River School, Bierstadt travelled extensively through the Rockies, the Sierra Nevada, and the California valleys in the 1860s and 70s, returning with studies that became some of the most ambitious paintings in American art history. His work captures a frontier that no longer exists — vast, luminous, and untouched — with a drama and grandeur that still stops people cold 150 years later.
