The Old Mill
Albert Bierstadt, 1858
Later renowned for large canvases that record spectacular scenery of the American West, Bierstadt first studied painting in Germany and Rome, which he toured in 1856 with fellow painters Worthington Whittredge and Sanford Gifford. In New Bedford, Massachusetts, Bierstadt worked drawings he had made in Europe into finished oil paintings. He had sketched The Old Mill in Westphalia (Germany). |
