Summary

As one of America?s most prominent nineteenth-century painters, Albert Bierstadt (1830?-1902) is justly renowned for his majestic paintings of the western landscape. Yet Bierstadt was also a painter of history, and his figural works, replete with images of Plains Indians and the American bison, are an important part of his legacy as well. This full-color volume highlights his achievements in chronicling a rapidly changing American West.00Exhibition: Buffalo Bill Centre of the West, Cody, USA (08.06.-30.09.2018)
