"The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone II" is a notable 19th-century oil painting by the American artist Thomas Moran, created in 1893-1901. This work is part of a series of paintings by Moran that depict the dramatic and picturesque landscapes of the Yellowstone region, which played a significant role in the establishment of Yellowstone National Park, the first national park in the United States and the world. Moran's depictions of Yellowstone were instrumental in communicating the grandeur of the American West to the wider public and influencing conservation efforts during a time when the ethos of the sublime in nature was a prevalent theme in art.

Measuring approximately 8 feet by 14 feet, this monumental painting is a testament to Moran's skill in capturing the awe-inspiring scale and beauty of the canyon. It showcases the artist's mastery of light, color, and composition, as he renders the intricate geological formations, the majestic waterfall, and the interplay of light and shadow that defines the canyon's depth and ruggedness. The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone II is characterized by its vibrant palette, with hues of yellow, orange, and red that reflect the natural tints of the canyon walls, contrasted with the cool tones of the sky and the river below.

Moran's work is often associated with the Hudson River School, a mid-19th century American art movement that emphasized romantic landscape painting. However, his style also incorporates elements of luminism, with its focus on light and atmosphere. The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone II is not only a significant piece of American art history but also a cultural artifact that encapsulates the spirit of exploration and the appreciation of natural wonders that was prevalent during the era of westward expansion.

Today, The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone II is held in high regard as a masterpiece of American landscape painting and is part of the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. It continues to be celebrated for its historical importance and its breathtaking portrayal of one of America's most iconic natural landmarks.
