About the piece

Painted in 1873 by Albert Bierstadt, this work exemplifies the Hudson River School's fascination with the American West. The composition masterfully leads the eye from the detailed rocky trail and riders in the foreground into the vast, hazy expanse of the valley, where the Merced River snakes toward distant peaks under a radiant, golden sky.
