About This Design

Early Snow in Yosemite Valley, Sentinel Rock Poster

Early Snow in Yosemite Valley, Sentinel Rock Poster

Early Snow in Yosemite Valley, Sentinel Rock is a large oil on canvas painting created by Albert Bierstadt in 1870, measuring approximately 54 x 84 inches. This work depicts the iconic Yosemite Valley with a focus on Sentinel Rock, one of the valley’s prominent granite spires, during an early snowfall. The scene captures the sublime beauty of the Sierra Nevada landscape with snow dusting the rugged cliffs and trees, while mist rises near Bridalveil Fall and the Merced River flows through the valley. Bierstadt’s composition balances detailed realism with romantic idealisation, using dramatic lighting and atmospheric effects to evoke a sense of awe and tranquillity. The painting reflects Bierstadt’s method of combining on-site sketches with studio enhancements to create unified, emotionally impactful landscapes. The presence of snow early in the season adds a fresh, pristine quality to the scene, emphasizing nature’s grandeur and the changing seasons. The work is a prime example of Bierstadt’s romantic realism and luminism, showcasing his skill in rendering light and depth. It is part of the tradition of Hudson River School artists who celebrated the American wilderness, and it helped popularise Yosemite as a symbol of natural beauty and national pride.

I originally ordered this print in a larger size but was not pleased with the clarity of it. When I contacted Zazzle, they responded really quickly and were very helpful. I was able to reorder the print in a smaller size and it was shipped to me within a couple of weeks. The print was packaged well to ensure there was no damage during transit (Eco friendly, too!), and I am really pleased with it. I am so grateful to the customer service team for the professional way they handled my order. I had this printed on matt finish card and I was really pleased with the quality. The colours were rich and the image sharp.
