His fearless commitment to his subject involved arduous journeys across untamed lands to uncover nature from large-scale perspectives.<p> <p>Bierstadt&#39;s photographs and sketches of wild and rugged mountain scenes inspired the paintings he completed in his New York Studio. Bierstadt achieved notable claims during his lifetime, with his massive canvas paintings being very popular with the American public.<p> <p>After his death, his popularity declined until the 1960s, when his work was rediscovered to be celebrated again, including in the United States Postal Service commemorative stamps.<p> <p>Bierstadt worked with large-scale and highly detailed depictions of the American landscape. His incredible use of light offered a romanticized view of this subject matter, which, combined with his impressionistic use of color, elevated his landscapes to the sublime.<p> <p>While Bierstadt&#39;s landscapes are undoubtedly grounded in realism, his idealized depictions of the outdoors add an emotional dimension to his work. Indeed, some art historians suggest that he brought the concept of Luminism to epic-scale works, which explains why they resonate with audiences.<p> <p class="title-3">How to choose Albert Bierstadt wall art for your space</p> <p>Albert Bierstadt wall art is flexible enough to work within a variety of decor styles.

<p>At Nevada Falls in California's Yosemite Valley, the Merced River plunges over a high ledge onto a jumble of boulders almost six hundred feet below, creating a torrent of white water and plumes of spray. Tourists were able to visit Nevada Falls by climbing a rocky trail that rose 1,840 feet in elevation from Vernal Falls, a mile and a half downstream. Bierstadt signals this possibility by portraying several sightseers, among them two women in hiking gear.</p>
