SORRY! Our art store is not currently in service! We apologize for the inconvenience--but our other stores ARE up and running!!! Below are four of our favorite Oregon Trail era artists. Click on the art.com link to see prints of their work available for purchase. They can even frame the print if you like!  Thomas Moran Moran's stunning landscapes were painted toward the end of the overland period. He was a prolific painter who saw the American West as a beautiful and solemn place. This image is Shoshone Falls--along the Oregon Trail in Idaho.  Karl Bodmer Karl Bodmer's paintings of America's fur-trapping era are one of the only visual records of that period. Bodmer's went west very early--before the covered wagons started rolling for Oregon. He wasn't interested in landscapes--instead he painted people.As a result, he provides a unique glimpse into Native American culture before it was impacted by settlement.  Alfred Bierstadt Bierstadt's landscapes are legendary--amazingly beautiful panoramas of land and sky. He painted in the later overland period, and he focused largely on California and the Southwest. Nonetheless, he also painted places that the westward-bound pioneers would have seen. His work is as breathtaking today as it ever was.  Charles Russell Charles Russell is perhaps the most famous painter of the West, yet he painted after the end of the overland period. We included him because so many people are taken by his rough-and-ready perspective of the cowboy west.
