Trapper Disturbed in Rest by a Herd of Buffalo, c. 1837
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this artwork by Alfred Jacob Miller, we are transported back to the untamed wilderness of early 19th century North America. The scene depicts a trapper, weary from his arduous journey through the American West, finding solace in a moment of rest amidst nature's grandeur. However, his tranquility is abruptly shattered as a thundering herd of buffalo emerges on the horizon. The artist skillfully captures the danger and excitement that fills the air as these majestic creatures approach with their powerful presence. With pencil, pen and ink, and wash on paper techniques, Miller brings life to every detail - from the trapper's startled expression to each individual buffalo charging forward. This painting not only showcases Miller's artistic prowess but also offers us a glimpse into an era defined by exploration and discovery. Accompanied by Sir William Drummond Stewart and Thomas Fitzpatrick along their treacherous expedition through old Nebraska Territory towards Wyoming's Green River Valley rendezvous point for fur traders; it symbolizes both man's desire for adventure and his struggle against nature. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece at Joslyn Museum in Omaha, Nebraska - its colors vibrant yet tinged with danger - we can't help but be reminded of the pioneers who paved the way for our modern world. It serves as a testament to their courage and resilience while highlighting the delicate balance between mankind and wildlife in America's frontier days.
