Mount Starr King, Yosemite, 1866. Creator: Albert Bierstadt (American, 1830-1902)
Mount Starr King, Yosemite, 1866. During the summer of 1863, Bierstadt visited Yosemite Valley in California and made numerous sketches. Back in his New York studio, he used these sketches to produce numerous majestic paintings, including this view of the distant granite peak Mount Starr King. Such scenes thrilled East Coast audiences and helped encourage early movements to save Americas natural wonders. In 1864, President Lincoln signed a bill preserving Yosemite as public property. The area became a national park in 1890

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Albert Bierstadt's remarkable painting, "Mount Starr King, Yosemite, 1866". Bierstadt embarked on a journey to California's Yosemite Valley in the summer of 1863 and meticulously captured its breathtaking beauty through numerous sketches. Upon returning to his New York studio, he transformed these sketches into majestic paintings that would leave East Coast audiences awe-inspired. One such masterpiece is this particular view of Mount Starr King, an imposing granite peak in Yosemite. The grandeur and magnificence depicted in this artwork resonated deeply with viewers and played a significant role in fostering early movements to preserve America's natural wonders. In fact, President Lincoln himself recognized the importance of preserving such extraordinary landscapes. In 1864, he signed a bill that protected Yosemite as public property – a pivotal moment in American history. This act laid the foundation for what would eventually become one of the nation's most cherished treasures: Yosemite National Park. Bierstadt's work not only immortalizes the splendor of Mount Starr King but also serves as a testament to the power of art in inspiring conservation efforts. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect and cherish our natural heritage for future generations.
