Emigrants Crossing the Plains, 1867 -
Albert Bierstadt Oil Painting


The landscapes of this signature luminist, renowned around the world for their spectacular panoramas and the unique light, capture the pure romance and grandeur of the American West. In 1859 Bierstadt participated in an expedition to survey a route for wagon trains, and traveled through the West sketching views of the frontier for later paintings. This dramatic image is courtesy of the Collection of the Natural Cowboy Hall of Fame, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

    Tips for Choosing Art Work for Your Home

    When shopping for art for your living room, here are a few things to keep in mind before you buy an original painting, artist reproduction or a framed art print.

    Choose an artwork piece that compliments the color scheme and mood of your rooms current decor.

    If you room has a theme (i.e. modern, shabby chic, country or sophisticated) make sure the art print's theme and design you pick supports the same theme as you room.

    With any artwork from expensive original artwork to an inexpensive art print, framing is an important step to have the art be appreciated and make a statement. Poorly framed art tends to look cheap and neglected no matter how much you spent.

    And lastly, make sure your art pieces do not come into contact with direct sunlight without UV protective glass to protect the colors in your artwork from fading over time.
