Bierstadt, "The Rocky Mountains,"

I was looking at an artboook, and this painting had really caught my eye. i think i literally fell in love with it. I have really liked it becuase i just love mountain images and waterfall images. I decided to take a look at it's qualities.

Qualities of design;
Imitationalism
In an Imitationalism point of view, this painting really fits into this quality, because its literal quality is stunning. this painting is based on, and its detail is so accurate that it makes you feel like you are actually there.

Emotionalism
This piece of art makes me feel happy. calm, and peaceful. When i look at this painting, i feel flawless and very calm like as if I'm at a calm and peaceful place, where i cant be bothered by anything. This painting makes me feel like the whole world is in peace.

Formalism
The formalism in this painting that is easy to see is it's balance, this painting is very asymmetrical. The painting itseft has has a variety of patterns and lines, which to me makes the painting more "lifelike".
