The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak.

In early 1859 Albert Bierstadt accompanied a government survey expedition, headed by Frederick W. Lander, to the Nebraska Territory. By summer, the party had reached the Wind River Range of the Rocky Mountains in present-day Wyoming.

Bierstadt painted this work after returning to New York in the early 1860s. It depicts a Shoshone camp of the area with members of the tribe tending to various chores while others relax and still others play.

This monumental painting established Bierstadt as a key landscape painter of the day. The original was purchased in 1865 for the then-astounding sum of $25,000 by James McHenry, an American living in London. Bierstadt later bought it back and gave or sold it to his brother Edward. It now resides in The Metropolitan Museum of Art on 5^th Avenue in New York City.
