Another remarkable painting by the famous American artist, depicting the stunning nature of the United States. The central element is the majestic Cathedral Rocks in Yosemite Valley and the surrounding landscape.
Through the play of color and shadow — for which the artist was renowned — he managed to convey the grandeur and monumentality of the place. The rocks seem to loom over us, even though they are far away. The power of nature is expressed through refined brushstrokes in the style of Luminism. The interplay of the sun — either rising or setting — the mountain shadows, and the shimmering reflections of trees in the water. Absolutely magical.
