Albert Bierstadt (Utah, 1830-1902) After the Storm, Salt Lake Valley

Albert Bierstadt visited Utah multiple times to paint the beautiful landscapes found here. In reference to one of those visits, an article from the Utah Mining Journal wrote, "The magnificent scenery in which Utah abounds has not escaped [Bierstadt's] professional eye, and he proposed to 'put on canvas' several of our most gorgeous views. It is sunset on the Salt Lake, viewed from the plateau north of the city. For the variety and harmony of the elements of a perfect landscape scene, this view is hardly rivaled by any American scenery... It is a pleasure to know that we now have a Bierstadt of our picturesque scenery, and equally agreeable to know that we have scenery worth of his brush."
