VTG Framed Print "Looking Up The Yosemite Valley" by Albert Bierstadt 24" x 20"

Description: Vintage Double-Matted & Framed Lithographic Print, "Looking up the Yosemite Valley" by Albert Bierstadt in a Hand-Carved, Two-Toned, Gold and Red Frame Behind Glass Looking up the Yosemite Valley shows a view from the western end of the park. The artist used striking contrasts of shadow and sunshine to dramatize and vary his scene; the foreground is dimmed, while sunlight bursts onto the green meadow, silvery blue El Capitan on the left, and Cathedral Rocks on the right. The mistiness of the distant reaches of the valley focuses attention on these two granite monuments. Of secondary interest are Bridalveil Falls, in a shaded cliff on the right, and an exploring party in an open meadow ribboned by the Merced River. The shadowy foreground contains an artist-perhaps Bierstadt himself-sketching the view. The tiny figures in the middle ground, like the trees that fringe the south rim, help convey a feeling of grandeur, as does the low viewpoint that emphasizes height.
