The two famed domes in what is now California's Yosemite National Park soar in the background as the 2,400-foot Yosemite Falls plunges in perfect perspective from under the top of the picture frame into the valley below. Painter Bierstadt traveled to the Athenaeum summers until his death in 1902 to gaze at his masterwork, often dabbing here and there where the paint had flaked.
