| Description: | By the early 1860s, Bierstadt achieved international fame for his series of monumental landscapes celebrating the American frontier. During his second trip West in 1863, the German-American artist created sketches of Yosemite Falls, or "Cho-looke" as termed by the regions Miwok people, Ahwahneechee. Though modest in scale compared to his other expansive views, Yosemite Falls conveys the natural beauty and grandeur of the region through an interplay of atmospheric effects. Join docent Anne Hunter for a discussion about Bierstadt's work in the American West. Albert Bierstadt, Yosemite Falls, 1865–1870, oil on canvas, Gift from the Estate of Mrs. William H. Sawyer, Jr. 1954.66 |
