Painting Description
"The Last of the Buffalo II" is a notable painting by German-American artist Albert Bierstadt, created in the late 19th century as part of his body of work focusing on the American West. Bierstadt, known for his grandiose landscapes and depictions of the untamed American frontier, painted this work as a poignant commentary on the near extinction of the American bison, also known as buffalo, and the concurrent decline of the Native American way of life.
Completed in 1888, "The Last of the Buffalo II" serves as a companion piece to Bierstadt's earlier work, "The Last of the Buffalo," which was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1889. The painting is characterized by its dramatic representation of a solitary bison bull, set against a backdrop of an expansive landscape and a sky filled with foreboding clouds. The scene is both a tribute to the majesty of the American West and a lament for the environmental and cultural losses brought about by westward expansion and unregulated hunting.
Bierstadt's use of light and shadow, as well as his meticulous attention to detail, imbues the painting with a sense of realism and emotional depth. The artwork reflects the artist's Romantic sensibilities and his desire to capture the sublime beauty of nature, while also engaging with contemporary issues of conservation and indigenous rights.
"The Last of the Buffalo II" is considered an important work within Bierstadt's oeuvre and the genre of Western American art. It encapsulates the tensions of its time, between the celebration of American progress and the recognition of its costs. The painting is held in a public collection and continues to be studied and exhibited as a significant piece of American cultural heritage, offering insight into the historical context of the late 19th century and the legacy of the American West.
