  • Not a Chinaman’s Chance (1894)

    Not a Chinaman’s Chance (1894)

    Charles Marion Russell (American, 1864–1926)

    A lone cowboy stands frozen, rifle raised, as a grizzly rears on its hind legs. Dust swirls between them—tense silence before the clash. The West’s raw danger pulses in that suspended moment, where survival hangs by a thread.

  • Mountain of the Holy Cross (1890)

    Mountain of the Holy Cross (1890)

    Thomas Moran (American, 1837–1926)

    Snow clings to the mountain’s crevices, forming a stark white cross against the rugged stone. Light spills over the peaks, carving shadows into the valley below. The land feels ancient, untamed—a silent testament to something greater than itself.
