Description
By Albert Bierstadt, this 1863 painting is just a stunning piece of the luminist era. I'm in awe of how he implemented light into this artwork. I love the little bird perched on the tree trunk.
When this painting was first exhibited in 1863, critics declared it Bierstadt’s “best work” and praised the artist’s deft contrast of “light and shade,” which brought a heightened realism to the image.
Albert Bierstadt is best remembered for his paintings of the American West, but during his early career, the ambitious artist also created New England landscapes, particularly of the White Mountains, as seen here. You can see Bierstadt's signature at the lower left if you use the loupe to enlarge.
