"Buffalo Trail (or The Impending Storm)" is a notable painting by the German-American landscape painter Albert Bierstadt, who is renowned for his lavish and expansive depictions of the American West. Created in 1869, the painting is a quintessential example of Bierstadt's romantic and dramatic style, which often captured the untamed beauty of the western frontier during the 19th century.

The artwork depicts a scene of a buffalo trail with a sense of foreboding as a storm appears to be gathering in the distance. The painting is characterized by its atmospheric perspective, with a meticulous attention to the effects of light and shadow that imbue the scene with a sense of impending drama. Bierstadt's use of light not only highlights the natural beauty of the landscape but also serves to emphasize the wildness and vulnerability of the American bison, which were central to the life and culture of the Plains Indians.

Measuring at 26 1/4 x 44 1/4 inches (66.7 x 112.4 cm), "Buffalo Trail" is a relatively modest-sized work compared to some of Bierstadt's larger panoramas. The painting is held in the collection of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., which is now part of the National Gallery of Art.

As with many of Bierstadt's works, "Buffalo Trail" reflects the artist's personal experiences and journeys through the American West. His travels with surveying expeditions provided him with the firsthand encounters that informed his artistic vision. The painting is emblematic of the 19th-century American art movement known as the Hudson River School, of which Bierstadt was a part. This movement was characterized by its realistic and detailed portrayal of American landscapes, often imbued with themes of exploration, discovery, and the sublime.

"Buffalo Trail (or The Impending Storm)" continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and as a historical document of the American West during a period of significant change and expansion. It is a testament to Bierstadt's legacy as one of the foremost painters of the American landscape and his ability to capture the imagination of the public with his grand and evocative scenes.
