About the piece

Created circa 1870, Albert Bierstadt's 'Sunrise, Yosemite Valley' is a quintessential masterpiece of the Hudson River School. Utilizing the Luminist style, Bierstadt captures the divine morning light as it spills into the valley, creating a dramatic contrast between the monumental, misty cliffs and the serene, reflective waters of the Merced River in the foreground.
