Albert Bierstadt - German/American


Moat Mountain, Intervale, New Hampshire,
circa 1862, oil on paper mounted on canvas, 48.58 x 66.36 cm


Niagara, 14 x 19 inches, oil on paper laid on canvas












Bierstadt poeticised the landscapes he saw rather than trying to make topographically accurate records.
