Albert
Bierstadt Biography
Albert Bierstadt (1830
- 1902) From the vast vistas of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains
to that of Colorado's Rockies, landscape painter Albert Bierstadt
had the abilty to bring forth the peaceful beauty of nature to every
canvas he covered. Born in Germany in 1830, Bierstadt came to the
United States at the age of two. As a young man, he returned to Germany,
where he studied painting for three years at the prestigious Dusseldorf
Akademie. When he returned finally in 1857, he began painting landscapes
of the northeastern United States. Upon hearing of the beauty of the
west, in 1858 Bierstadt was able to join a surveying expedition to
make the first of several trips to the west. Returning with many sketches
and oil studies, he set to work in his New York studio to create the
first of the huge carefully detailed oil panoramas he became famous
for. His sweeping portrayals of western natural scenery became the
standard of his day for how many viewed the beauty of the west. He
approached his subject in an almost exaggerated look that romaticized
the grandeur of the rugged mountains, waterfalls, and pristine lakes
emphasizing the atmospheric effects of fog and clouds to enhance the
overall work. A very good example of this can be seen in his dramatic
portrayal Mountains in the Mist (1863; Metropolitan Museum, New York).
Even in his day, Bierstadt became one of the premiere and most respected
painters of the mid 1800's.
