A majestic waterfall cascades powerfully over a vertical cliff surrounded by rugged terrain and green vegetation. In the backdrop, the silhouettes of mountains rise under a cloudy sky, adding a sense of grandeur to the scene.

Digitally enhanced Public Domain Artwork of '' Vernal Fall - 1863 '', created by Albert Bierstadt, a German-American painter best known for his lavish, sweeping landscapes of the American West. He joined several journeys of the Westward Expansion to paint the scenes. He was not the first artist to record the sites, but he was the foremost painter of them for the remainder of the 19th century.

Bierstadt was born in Prussia, but his family moved to the United States when he was one year old. He returned to study painting for several years in Düsseldorf. He became part of the second generation of the Hudson River School in New York, an informal group of like-minded painters who started painting along the Hudson River.
