About this artwork

Albert Bierstadt painted Rocky Mountain Goats in 1885, working in oil on canvas. The subject is the mountain goat, Oreamnos americanus, and the work is classed as animal art. Bierstadt is widely known for monumental landscapes that glorified the American West, so it is interesting to see him turn his attention to a single species of the high country. The title points to the Rocky Mountains as the animals' home, and the painting invites you to look closely at these sure-footed creatures in their natural setting.

On your wall: Suited to a study, living room or hallway where a nature-inspired piece for lovers of wildlife and mountain scenery would be welcome.
