Artist Role 4

In my opinion i think that Albert Bierstadt painting of "The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak, 1863" is part of Role 4. Albert Bierstadt born in Prussia 1830-1902. Albert came to America when he was two years old,
he was raised in New Bedford, Massachusetts. As he grew up he taught himself how to paint. Then he decided to go to Dusseldorf, Germany to study with a group of artists. They toured Europe. He took photographs and made sketches from which he later painted landscapes. sometimes put himself in dangerous situation to capture a particular scene. Bierstadt was part of a group of artists called Luminists, a term which comes from the word luminous which means radiating or reflecting light.
