About the piece

Created around 1850 by American master Albert Bierstadt, this oil study captures the raw majesty of snow-capped mountains. The piece demonstrates Bierstadt's skill in rendering light and atmosphere, with the brilliant white of the summer snow contrasting sharply against the deep, moody tones of the surrounding terrain and overcast sky.
