Albert Bierstadt is known for sweeping views of natural wonders, including which work?

• A. The Rocky Mountains
• B. The Great Wave off Kanagawa
• C. The Last Supper
• D. The Birth of Venus

Answer: (A)

Bierstadt’s work is defined by monumental, luminous landscapes that emphasize the vast, awe-inspiring scale of nature. He specialized in sweeping panoramas of the American West, where grand mountain ranges and dramatic light convey a sense of the sublime. The Rocky Mountains fits this pattern exactly, representing his famous large-scale Western landscape style. The other titles come from artists of different regions and periods—The Great Wave off Kanagawa is by Hokusai, The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, and The Birth of Venus by Botticelli—so they don’t reflect Bierstadt’s signature subjects.
