Rainbow Over The Grand Canyon Of The Yellowstone
1900
Thomas Moran captures the sheer drama of the American West, where towering, sun-drenched cliffs of the Yellowstone Canyon glow in pale yellows and whites against a misty backdrop. A vibrant rainbow cuts through the atmosphere on the left, adding a touch of ethereal magic to the rugged terrain. Moran was essentially the artist who painted a national park into existence; his vivid depictions from the 1871 Hayden Survey helped convince Congress to establish Yellowstone as the world's first national park.
