Artist: Albert Bierstadt
Albert Bierstadt's View in the Yosemite Valley shows the valley floor, a small lake or river reach, and towering granite walls beneath a dramatic sky. Dark foreground conifers frame the sunlit scene beyond, a composition the supplied record connects to Bierstadt's sublime landscapes, where the scale of nature overwhelms the viewer.
Artist: Albert Bierstadt

The article follows the depicted scene, identifies its elk, waterfowl and hidden trout, and explains what the European exhibition tour and the painting's later life as a glued interior wall reveal about its meaning.
