Born in Germany in January 1830, Albert Bierstadt came to the United States with his parents as a 1-year-old. Living in Massachusetts, he would grow up to become one of the foremost painters of the American West. Albert Beerstadt studied painting in Europe and developed a style distinct from that of both New York’s Hudson River School and Thomas Moran’s English aesthetic, and his name became synonymous with luminous sweeping vistas of Western landscapes.

About Canadian Rockies Lake Louise Albert Bierstadt Landscape Painting
During Albert Bierstadt travels in the American and Canadian West, Bierstadt made oil sketches such as this one, which he used, back in his New York studio, for reference in concocting the huge, carefully detailed panoramic scenes that brought him critical acclaim during the 1860s and 1870s. By the end of the century, American viewers had come to appreciate the more modest landscape observations of Barbizon and Impressionist painters, and Bierstadt’s sketches were themselves valued as fresh, direct records of the places he had visited.
