The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone (1872) by Thomas Moran is a monumental depiction of the dramatic landscape within Yellowstone National Park. The painting captures the vast, rugged canyon carved by the Yellowstone River, with its steep, multicolored cliffs and cascading waterfall at the center. Moran’s use of light and color creates a sense of grandeur and depth, highlighting the contrasting yellow, ochre, and red hues of the canyon walls against the misty, bluish sky. This panoramic view, rendered in extraordinary detail, conveys the power and scale of the natural landscape, which helped promote the establishment of Yellowstone as America’s first national park. Moran’s blend of realism and romanticism elevates the scene to an almost sublime representation of the American wilderness.
