专家说明


The present work depicts a location near Inspiration Point in Yosemite National Park. The same vantage point can be seen in Thomas Hill's Great Canyon of the Sierra, Yosemite (1871, Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento, California), painted the same year. The Yosemite Valley became Hill's signature subject following his first trip in 1865 and received critical acclaim for his paintings' truthfulness to nature. The present work features two ladies led by a tour guide in the foreground, dwarfed by the grandiose beauty of the valley.
