Historical Figure
Albert Bierstadt
Albert Bierstadt was a German-born American painter of the Hudson River School renowned for his monumental, luminous landscapes of the American West. He accompanied multiple government survey expeditions across the Rocky Mountains, painting the same dramatic mountain ranges and river valleys that Lewis and Clark had first traversed decades earlier.
