The Chasm of the Colorado — Fine Art

The Chasm of the Colorado shows a deep cut in the earth dropping away between stone walls. Thomas Moran painted this landscape with wide bands of rock and sky. The scene uses strong earth tones and a pale sky wash to hold the view together. The picture sits within the naturalist landscape tradition of the American West.

A metal hanger sits on the back so the fine art print goes straight onto a nail or screw. No separate frame is needed. The matte paper keeps the earth tones soft and the light greys stay quiet under a lamp.

On a bedroom wall near the bed, the rock bands read as steady colour across the night. From the doorway the big stone planes fill the view, while the pale sky stays flat and quiet.
