옐로스톤 타워 폭포의 타워
1872
Thomas Moran created this breathtaking scene during the 1871 Hayden Geological Survey, a legendary expedition that literally helped put Yellowstone on the map. His dramatic depiction of the towering rock spire and rushing river was so convincing that it helped persuade Congress to establish America's first national park just a year later in 1872. It's a perfect example of Romanticism, where nature isn't just pretty scenery—it's a powerful, almost spiritual force that makes humans feel wonderfully tiny.
