Late Blog Post :( Ch 4.



In the 1850's a German-born american painter name Albert Bierstabt accompained a corps of U.S Army engineers. On their expedition he made sketchesthat later became spectacular paintings. One of his paintings that catches my view is a landscape and its called " The Rocky Mountains" which he drew in 1863. It has horses, tipis, water falls, hills, and mountains. Its also oil canvas and it is stored in the Museum of Art in New York.

Another artist that is related to Albert Bierstabt is Huang Gongwang. He did a  Chinese landscape painting in the 14 century. Its called " Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". Its brush and black ink on paper. This picture is related to the "Rocky Mountains" because its both similar on the viewing of it and it has hills and trees on it but, this particular painting also has houses in it. This painting is located at the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
Both of these painting are my favorite because it has a nice viewing.
