[The museum's record](https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/10154). ## About this work Albert Bierstadt painted this in 1863, aged 33. It is now at The Met in New York. ### How it was made - **Oil paint.** Pigment ground in a drying oil, usually linseed. It dries slowly, so painters could blend on the canvas, build up thin translucent glazes, and rework a picture over weeks. Canvas replaced wooden panels in the 1500s because it is lighter and can be rolled. ### [Albert Bierstadt](https://www.ochreeditions.com/artists/albert-bierstadt) American, 1830–1902; born in Solingen; died in New York ## Facts - Type: Painting - Culture: American - The artist was 33 - Real size: about 74 × 121 in (187 × 307 cm).
