落基山脉,兰德峰

Albert Bierstadt American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 760

出生于德国的比斯塔特以落基山脉的画作稳定地确立了自己作为美国西部画家的身份。他在1859年与腓特烈·W·兰德上校一起在今日怀俄明州和犹他州进行的考察为这幅画奠定了基础,这幅画将一种清楚的国家边疆风光呈现在美国人面前,同时助长了“天定命运论”——这种流行的观点认为美国人受到上天的指派,要成为美洲大陆的主宰。这幅画有对称的构图,展现出大胆、简单的光线对比。前景中描绘了一个肖肖尼族印第安部落的营地。比斯塔特的这一巨幅绘画在公众面前展出时获得了巨大的成功,使他成为当时著名美国风景画家弗雷德里克·丘奇的竞争对手。
