About Alfred Jacob Miller

Alfred Jacob Miller was an American painter, born in Baltimore, Maryland, on January 2, 1810, and he died there on June 26, 1874. He trained in Europe from 1832 to 1834, attending life classes at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, copying paintings at the Louvre, and studying the old masters in Rome. In 1837, while working in New Orleans, he was hired by the Scottish adventurer Sir William Drummond Stewart to record a journey along the Oregon Trail to the fur traders' summer rendezvous on the Green River, in present-day Wyoming.

That one trip shaped the rest of his career. Miller made dozens of quick watercolor sketches of trappers, traders and the Native peoples they met, and spent decades turning them into finished paintings. Around 1858 to 1860 the Baltimore collector William T. Walters commissioned some 200 watercolors, among them The Lost Greenhorn and Breakfast at Sunrise. They are among the very few eyewitness pictures of the Rocky Mountain fur trade, and the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore holds many of them.

Alfred Jacob Miller prints: reproductions of the paintings and watercolors of the American West that Alfred Jacob Miller made after his 1837 journey to the Rocky Mountain fur trade rendezvous. The collection includes Indian Hospitality, Conversing with Signs (1837), Caravan en Route (1850), Sunset, Wind River (1855), The Indian Guide (1858) and The Lost 'Green-horn'.

This selection covers both sides of Miller's western work. One part is people: Shoshone, Sioux and Flathead sitters, hunters on horseback, buffalo and cougar hunts, and the lassoing of wild horses. The other is open landscape, with river valleys, mountain clouds and sunsets over the Wind River country. The colors are warm, and many scenes show quiet moments in camp.

The warm, earthy palettes suit living rooms, studies and dens, and wide landscapes such as Where the Clouds Love to Rest work well above a sofa or fireplace. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
