"Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak" is a prominent landscape painting by German-American painter Albert Bierstadt, completed in 1863. The painting is a masterpiece of the Hudson River School, an art movement known for its romantic portrayal of the American wilderness. Bierstadt, renowned for his grandiose and detailed depictions of the American West, created this work after an expedition he joined in 1859 led by Colonel Frederick W. Lander, a surveyor and civil engineer. The peak in the painting is named after Lander, who was a family friend of Bierstadt's and who died in the Civil War.

The painting measures an impressive 73.25 x 120.75 inches (186.1 x 306.7 cm) and is a prime example of Bierstadt's ability to capture the sublime and dramatic landscapes that were largely unknown to the Eastern audiences of his time. It showcases a panoramic view of the Rocky Mountains with Lander's Peak in the background, featuring a tranquil lake, lush forests, and a Native American encampment in the foreground. The encampment, with its tepees and figures engaged in daily activities, reflects Bierstadt's interest in the lives of indigenous people, though his portrayal is often considered idealized and romanticized.

"Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak" was an immediate success and sold for the then-astronomical sum of $25,000. The painting's fine detail, luminous quality, and grand scale exemplify Bierstadt's style and contributed to the 19th-century American public's fascination with the West. It is widely regarded as one of Bierstadt's greatest works and is a significant piece in the narrative of American art history, encapsulating the era's spirit of exploration and the sublime beauty of the American landscape.

The painting is currently held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to be a popular work for visitors and scholars alike, offering a window into the 19th-century American frontier and the art movement that celebrated it.
