Yosemite (1875) - Albert Bierstadt Poster

Yosemite (1875) - A beautiful oil on canvas painting, painted and signed by Albert Bierstadt. Although digitally restored, the cracks and fine lines are left intact on this painting to honour the time this painting emerged from. Inspired by the spectacular and unspoiled wilderness he encountered in the American West, Albert Bierstadt set out to record the landscape for posterity, focusing on the natural wonders of the largely unexplored and undocumented territories of Yosemite, the High Sierras and Yellowstone. He was among the first American painters to capture the grandeur and natural splendour of the region and to record the many atmospheric moods of its climate and terrain. Painted circa 1875, Yosemite Valley brilliantly captures the monumentality and majesty of the place on an intimate scale.
