Details:
Thomas Moran (American, 1837-1926)
Thomas Moran was an American painter and printmaker of the Hudson River School in New York whose work often featured the Rocky Mountains. A talented illustrator and exquisite colorist, he was hired as an illustrator at Scribner’s Monthly. During the late 1860s, he was appointed the chief illustrator for the magazine, a position that helped him launch his career as one of the premier painters of the American landscape, in particular, the American west. Thomas Moran’s vision of the Western landscape was critical to the creation of Yellowstone National Park.
