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.
