The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone by Thomas Moran
The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone (1901)
Thomas Moran | Hudson River School | Oil on canvas
A breathtaking view of Yellowstone's canyon with golden-yellow rock walls and a powerful waterfall crashing down in the distance. The colors are so bright they almost glow!
Did you know? Moran first sketched this canyon on a government survey trip in 1871. His sketches, together with William Henry Jackson's photographs, helped convince Congress to protect Yellowstone as the world's first national park in 1872. Years later he painted the view again, working on this giant 14-foot-wide version from 1893 to 1901!
