DESCRIPTION: From Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, edited by William Cullen Bryant and published between 1872 and 1874. This sweeping view, created by the renowned artist Thomas Moran, captures the rugged grandeur of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Towering peaks, dramatic ridgelines, and vast, open skies evoke the wildness of the period and the sense of awe with which Americans regarded the untamed western frontier. Moran’s masterful rendering conveys both the majesty and the isolation of the high Sierras, embodying the spirit of exploration and natural wonder that defined 19th-century landscape art.
