The story
Bierstadt painted this six-foot canvas in his Rome studio and toured it through Europe to lure settlers and investors west. Its golden light is more dream than geography, and that's why it sold.
About the painter
Painter · 1830–1902
Bierstadt painted the western mountains in a Rome studio and sent the canvases on tour. The light was the advertisement.

Size guide
Sizes follow this picture. A framed print adds the mat and the moulding, so the outside is larger than the sheet. Canvas is the face size, with a 1.5 inch edge that does not add to the front.
