Another Albert Bierstadt painting impressed artist Jay Rolfe at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington DC. "The Last of the Buffalo" was painted in 1888 and commemorates, well, what its title says. This image, from the Corcoran's website, is the photo of the day.

Albert Bierdstat painted this majestic painting "Mount Corcoran" in 1876-1877, that artist Jay Rolfe saw on a recent visit to the "American Evolution" exhibit. Bierstadt was apparently engaging in some friendly competition over majestic American landscapes with his friend Church who painted "Niagara" some years before. Bierstadt named the painting and the mountain for his hoped-for purchaser of the painting, Corcoran, even going so far as to have a government map altered to show an unnamed mountain as Mount Corcoran. His scheme was found out before the painting was purchased, but Corcoran purchased it nevertheless.
"Mount Corcoran" by Albert Bierstadt is the photo of the day. The exhibit at the Corcoran Gallery runs until July 27, 2008, so there is still time to visit.
