BIERSTADT, Albert: St. Lawrence River, from the Citadel, Quebec

🖼 St. Lawrence River, from the Citadel, Quebec, 1880
Boston, United States

Golden light bathes the St. Lawrence River as it winds below Quebec's Citadel, rendered in luminous detail through Bierstadt's characteristic Hudson River School technique. This romantic landscape captures 19th-century North American expansion, celebrating colonial settlement and sublime wilderness through monumental perspective.
