Hot Springs of the Yellowstone
Thomas Moran captured the otherworldly beauty of Yellowstone's terraced hot springs in this 1872 masterpiece, complete with a delicate rainbow arching over the misty landscape. His vivid depictions of the American West were so breathtaking that they helped convince the U.S. Congress to establish Yellowstone as the world's first national park. The scene feels almost alien, with its bubbling pools and steam rising against the rugged mountains, proving that nature is the ultimate artist.
