EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lake Scene, Wind River Mountains, c. 1837" takes us back to a time of exploration and adventure in the American West. Painted by Alfred Jacob Miller, this artwork depicts a stunning panoramic view of the majestic Rocky Mountains. The scene showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Wind River Range, with its towering peaks and serene lake nestled amidst lush greenery. A lone horseback rider traverses the landscape, adding a sense of movement and liveliness to the composition. Miller's painting not only captures the natural splendor of this untamed frontier but also hints at the rich cultural heritage that existed in these lands long before European settlers arrived. The presence of Native Americans suggests their deep connection to this land and their harmonious coexistence with nature. The artist himself was part of an expedition led by Thomas Fitzpatrick, accompanied by Scottish soldier Sir William Drummond Stewart. Together they embarked on a journey along the Oregon Trail through what is now Wyoming, reaching one of the last fur trappers rendezvous in Green River Valley. Through his skillful use of watercolor and gouache on paper, Miller brings this historical moment to life for viewers today. This artwork serves as both a testament to human curiosity and resilience in exploring new frontiers and an homage to America's vast natural landscapes.
