Albert Bierstadt became famous as the German who photographed the Wild West. Born in Solingen in 1830, Bierstadt grew up as the son of German immigrants on the American East Coast. Not much is known about his early years, but already at the age of twenty the self-taught artist began a career as a drawing teacher. He had probably inherited this talent from his mother, a cousin of Johann Peter Hasenclever, the founder of Genre painting in Germany. In 1853 Bierstadt then also made his way to his old homeland, in the hope to get a formal education in painting with his famous relative. After Hasenclevers surprising death the young artist found support by friends and studied landscape painting for four years at the academy of arts Düsseldorf with Carl Friedrich Lessing and Andreas Achenbach.
The artist developed his very own style, especially his preference for the monumental, during a trip to Italy with his friend, the history painter Emanuel Leutze, who, like him, had grown up in North America.
After his return to the USA, he took part in the expedition to the west of the continent in 1859, which would eventually make him famous. Bierstadt accompanied a soldier of the US Army, who was to scout a covered wagon route on behalf of the Ministry of the Interior. From this expedition Bierstadt brought back a large number of sketches, drawings and photographs to New York. Their exhibition was a resounding success and made the artist famous not only in the USA, but also in Germany and England.
Albert Bierstadt died in New York in 1902. In addition to his famous photographs of the Wild West, he left the world a number of impressive paintings. One of the most famous, Storm in the Rocky Mountains from 1866, hangs in the Brooklyn Museum in New York.
