About the piece
Painted in 1862 by Thomas Moran, this masterpiece illustrates the Catawissa valley in Pennsylvania. The composition draws the eye from a rocky, wooded foreground into a vast, luminous expanse where a river meanders toward mist-covered peaks, showcasing Moran's early mastery of light and atmospheric depth characteristic of the Hudson River School style.
