拍品專文

Renowned for his striking interpretations of the American West, Albert Bierstadt excelled in expressing his wonderment with his surroundings using paint. Painted around 1859-63, the present work likely dates to Bierstadt's first or second Western journey. In 1859, Bierstadt went on his first trip accompanying a government survey expedition to the Nebraska territory, reaching as far as present-day Wyoming. In 1863, the artist ventured even further, visiting Yosemite and San Francisco before traveling north into Oregon with the prominent New York writer Fitz Hugh Ludlow. Wagon Train adeptly captures the expanse of the Western frontier that the artist traversed. With the covered wagon and horses dwarfed by the vastness of the richly colored sky and mountains, Bierstadt emphasizes the still untapped beauty and grandeur of the West.
