1837212

杰克森的摄影与摩兰的绘画,将西部风景,包括冒泡的硫磺地,色彩丰富的温泉,以及喷得高高的间歇泉等景观带回到华盛顿特区。这些图象成功地说服国会将黄石区域设立为国家公园。这项立法在187231日正式生效。国会会员对于摩兰的艺术画作感到印象深刻,甚至还买下他的两幅全景画挂在美国国会大厦里。你对他的作品有什么感想呢?

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?
