About the piece
Painted in 1876, Albert Bierstadt’s 'Mount Corcoran' is a quintessential example of the Hudson River School’s approach to the American landscape. The composition dramatically contrasts the ethereal, light-filled mountain peak against a dark, churning storm cloud, while a lone bear on the shore provides a sense of the immense scale and untamed wilderness.
