| Like Albert Bierstadt and his panoramic paintings of the West, English-born Thomas Moran's reputation rests on his celebrated views of Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon. His extraordinary images of these scenic wonders astonished the American public and became a catalyst for the birth of the National Park System. This later work was painted in his new cottage and studio in Easthampton NY. |
