An artist whose painting I had a poster of

Albert Bierstadt was an American painter who painted a lot of landscapes from the American West in the 19th century. The painting of his that I had a poster of when I was at university is “Among The Sierra Nevada Mountains, California.”

Here it is:

Among the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California (1868)

He has many stunning paintings. If you want to see them on a page in chronological order with names and dates, you can find 355 of them here:

Or you can watch them in this slide show:

I like his subject matter, his style, his colours, and his use of light.
