Albert Bierstadt, the Artist, Dead

Albert Bierstadt was in the front rank of American landscape painters. He was born in Dusseldorff, Germany, January 7, 1839. He came to this country with his parents in 1831 and settled in New Bedford, Mass. He early developed a taste for art, and in 1851 began to paint in oils. In 1853 he went abroad to study at Dusseldorf and at Rome, making sketching tours during the summers in Germany and in Switzerland. Returning to the United States in 1857, he made an extended tour through the West, and it was he who first put upon canvas the scenery in the Rocky mountains, the Yosemite valley and in the Yellowstone.

Among his best known paintings are "Laramie Peak" (1861), now in the Buffalo Academy of Fine Arts; "Landers Peak in the Rocky Mountains" (1863), for which James McHenry of London paid £25,000; "Looking Down the Yosemite" (1865); "Valley of the Yosemite" (1866), in the Lenox Library;
"Settlement of California" and "Discovery of the Hudson," both in the Capitol at Washington; "In the Rocky Mountains" (1871), bought by Marshall O. Roberts for $40,000, and "Mountain Lake" and "Mount Corcoran in Sierra Nevada" (1878), now in the Corcoran gallery, Washington.
