Among the Sierra Nevada, California

Painted

1868

Collection

Smithsonian American Art Museum

Light pouring through clouds, a waterfall, a mirror-like lake and deer at the water's edge turn the California mountains into paradise. Bierstadt combined views from several places into an ideal scene, and to Europeans who saw it the American West became a majestic new world. A key work of the Hudson River School.
