Bierstadt Prints

Albert Bierstadt prints make great choices for those who love the North American countryside and wish to add it to their own homes. This article covers the works of this famous American painter in full and discusses why his art makes such a suitable choice as print for art consumers.

Bierstadt's prints and paintings cover the North American landscape in great detail with his charming touches of class that lifted him to the peak of the Hudson River School set of artists. Whilst they remain regular topics of study, with the likes of Church and Moran, it is Bierstadt whose career stands out tallest. To have Bierstadt mountain named after him in respect of the achievements and legacy of his career show quite what he managed to do through hard work and his natural passion for this subject.

The best works from a career which output around 4,000 paintings in total include the likes of Storm in the Rocky Mountains (Mount Rosa), Looking Down Yosemite Valley, Alaskan Coast Range, San Francisco Bay, Passing Storm over the Sierra Nevadas, The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak, Gosnold at Cuttyhunk and Indian Canoe.

The colour schemes and exceptional detail used by Bierstadt make his paintings suitable as art prints and stretched canvases as few get the chance to see his works in person at the various key collections currently housed in Cleveland, Seattle, New York, Boston and Vermont. The considerable number that the artist produced ensures that anyone can find an exact painting to their taste, be it with specific countryside and weather and lighting effects.
