This richly illustrated volume brings together dazzling depictions of the Rockies and the Alps, while investigating how geology, flora and fauna, and social and literary contexts relate to the rise of alpine landscape painting.It features 60 key works by Alexandre Calame, J.M.
W. Turner, John Ruskin, Samuel F. B. Morse, Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Cole, Worthington Whittredge, Arthur Frederick Kensett, Charles Bierstadt, Carleton Watkins and Eadweard Muybridge.
