Devils Gate - A Glimpse into the American Frontier
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print of "Devils Gate, c. 1850-60" by Alfred Jacob Miller takes us back to the untamed landscapes of the American West during the 19th century. The artwork, created using wash, pen and ink on paper, showcases a vertical rock formation and a magnificent four-hundred-foot canyon carved by the Sweetwater River in Wyoming. Miller, accompanied by Scottish soldier Sir William Drummond Stewart and trapper Thomas Fitzpatrick, embarked on an expedition along the Oregon Trail through old Nebraska Territory. Their journey led them to this awe-inspiring natural wonder known as Devils Gate. The painting captures not only the grandeur of nature but also hints at the exploration and discovery that characterized this era. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and resilience in conquering new frontiers. Intricately detailed depictions of deer roaming amidst rocky mountains add life to this stunning landscape. The artist's use of color brings vibrancy to every stroke, immersing viewers in a scene teeming with wildlife. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' collection at Joslyn Museum in Omaha, Nebraska, we are transported back in time—witnessing firsthand the beauty and majesty that captivated early European pioneers venturing into uncharted territories within North America's western hemisphere.
