About the piece

Painted in 1864, Albert Bierstadt's 'Valley of the Yosemite' is a hallmark of the Hudson River School, emphasizing the awe-inspiring scale of the American West. The work features a dramatic golden glow that bathes the valley floor, illuminating a peaceful group of deer at the water's edge against the monumental backdrop of El Capitan and Sentinel Rock.
