BIERSTADT, ALBERT (1830-1902)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 921 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BER-BLA
BIERSTADT, ALBERT (1830-1902) , American landscape painter, was born in Solingen, Westphalia, Germany, on the 7th of January 1830, and was taken to the United States when about a year old. In 1853-1856 he studied painting at Dusseldorf. His pictures of the western part of the United States, and particularly the Rocky Mountains, made him widely popular. His " Estes Park, Colorado," is in the collection of the
earl
  of Dunraven; his " Sierra Nevada " (1878) is in the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, and " The Valley of Yosemite " in the James Lenox collection in New
York
 . He received many German and Austrian decorations, and was a chevalier of the French Legion of Honour. He rendered panoramic views with a certain ability, though his
work
  was rather topographically correct and impressive than artistic in conception and execution. He was a member of the National
Academy
  of
Design
  of New
York
 , and is represented by two historical paintings, " The Discovery of the Hudson River," and " The
Settlement
  of California," in the Capitol in Washington, D.C. He died in New York City on the 18th of February 1902.
