Many
visuals either photographs or paintings cause the viewer to stop in awe and
reflect on that image for quite a long time. Other visuals are not very
impressive and people tend to look and just walk by them. The image I chose to
write about is a painting by Albert Bierstadt called Among the Sierra Nevada, California. I first saw this painting my
junior year in an Art History class, and I will never forget it. It is a
beautiful piece of art that I can look at for hours on end and not get bored of
it. There is so much going on in it and it all flows very well together. I love
being outdoors in nature especially in the mountains or woods and this is an
ideal location for me. The waterfall in the background along with the mountains
that seem to be going up to heaven are breathtaking. I would love to have a
printed version of this art in my house when I am older and have it be one of
the first things I see every day. When I look at this art I am instantly at
peace and feel very relaxed. Bierstadt was a very talented man and I am eager
to look at some of his other work.
