Thomas Moran (Bolton, England, February 12, 1837 – Santa Barbara, California, August 25, 1926) was an English-born American painter. He was a member of "The Hudson River School". Moran was born in Lancashire, UK, and raised in Philadelphia.
Moran is considered the premier painter of Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon. It is believed that his paintings had an important role in the creation of the Yellowstone National Park.
Best known for his panoramic views of the American West, Moran demonstrated the breadth of his vision in equally accomplished paintings of the Pennsylvania countryside, the landscape of Long Island, industrial complexes in Mexico and America, views of Venice,Italy, and numerous seascapes.
Moran was an artist of broad interests included paintings based on historical and literary works, marine subjects, pastoral views, and, surprisingly, urban and industrial scenes. [1]
