Among the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California by Albert Bierstadt, 1868

A beautiful painting depicting the untouched American West in the mid-19th century. It almost looks too beautiful to exist, doesn’t it? Well, you’d be right. After a little research, it was discovered that Bierstadt concocted this landscape from his mind. Still, it might be for the best. If any human came across this scene in real life, they might die from having their breath taken away.

When you see it…
