About the piece

Painted in 1872 by Thomas Moran, this masterpiece captures the 'Hot Springs of the Yellowstone' with the luminous precision characteristic of the Hudson River School influence. Moran's work was instrumental in the creation of America's first national park, utilizing a radiant palette and delicate atmospheric effects—like the rising steam and faint rainbow—to convey the sublime beauty of the Western wilderness.
