" Yosemite Valley, 1868 " by Albert Bierstadt

The sun shines so golden on the far horizon of this masterful painting of the Yosemite Valley that all seems to bow to its splendour! German-born Bierstadt created light-filled works that were as historically accurate as they were beautiful. He was known to make as many as 50 sketches in preparation for a single painting and it was said he portrayed the American west as Americans hoped it would be. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of colour, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. The replica 4.375" wide, European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported moulding.
