Answer:
Explanation: In my interpretation, I see a perception of a reality we want but can't have. The nature in this painting is so recognizable but at the same time unworldly. You feel the magnitude and intimidation with the clouds breaking apart and the sun shining through. Albert made this painting in 1868, a time of the old west where the world and society itself has shifted with the influx at the time of europeans came to the U.S where he moved to in 1957 with his friend and traveled the rocky mountains. I believe this is where he found most of his inspiration but also a symbol of hope, travel, and freedom on the horizons such as the sun peaking through in this painting itself. That regardless of what time, there will always be something out there.
