畫家湯瑪斯‧摩蘭 (Thomas Moran) 出生
1837212

傑克森的攝影與摩蘭的繪畫,將西部風景,包括冒泡的硫磺地,色彩豐富的溫泉,以及噴得高高的間歇泉等景觀帶回到華盛頓特區。這些影像成功地說服國會將黃石區域設立為國家公園。這項立法在187231日正式生效。國會會員對於摩蘭的藝術畫作感到印象深刻,甚至還買下他的兩幅全景畫掛在美國國會大廈裡。你對他的作品有什麼感想呢?

Jackson's photographs and Moran's sketches of the Western landscape, including the bubbling sulphur fields, colorful hot springs, and shooting geysers, were brought back to Washington, D.C. The images helped convince Congress to set aside the Yellowstone area as a national park. Legislation establishing the park took effect March 1, 1872. The members of Congress were so impressed with Moran's art that they purchased two of his panoramic landscapes to hang in the U.S. Capitol. How do his works make you feel?
