Albert Bierstadt: Painter of Light
List Price: $9.99
The Hudson River School style involved carefully detailed paintings with romantic, almost glowing lighting, sometimes called luminism. Bierstadt paintings sold for large sums, but he was not held in high esteem by art critics of his day. His use of uncommonly large canvases was a source of envy by his contemporaries when they were displayed together. The romanticism evident in his choices of subject and in his use of light complemented the landscape. His paintings emphasized atmospheric elements like fog, clouds and mist to accentuate his work. Bierstadt sometimes changed details of the landscape to inspire awe. The colors he used were not always true to life, but he painted what he believed was the way things should be.
