This is a reproduction Albert Bierstadt's masterpiece "Looking Down Yosemite Valley" of 1865. This oil on canvas painting was based on Bierstadt's sketches and is a good example of the artist's work, particularly in its very large size and panoramic view. Bierstadt was born in 1830 Solingen, Germany and moved with his family to Massachusetts the next year. He was a member of the Hudson River School founded by Thomas Cole and first went west in 1859. Though he sold his works for handsome prices, he was not fully appreciated by contemporary art critics. Nevertheless he was elected to the National Academy in 1860 He died in 1902 New York City. This painting measures 64 inches by 96.3 inches and is in the Birmingham Museum of Art in Birmingham, Alabama.If you are interested in commissioning an oil painting on canvas of this art print, please send me an email attroy@trycap.com.
