About the piece
Painted around 1850, this oil study by Albert Bierstadt captures the awe-inspiring scale and atmospheric mystery of high mountain peaks. The work features a masterful play of light across the snowy summits, contrasted against the deep, earthy tones of the shadowed valley and foreground trees.
