Greeting the West 2017

"Greeting the West" is a 2017 painting by American artist Mark Maggiori, depicting four Native American figures on horseback against a dramatic sunset sky. The composition, with its emphasis on figures set against a vast landscape, suggests a scene of westward expansion and the meeting of cultures. The painting's realistic style, reminiscent of the American West genre, utilizes detailed brushwork and rich color to create a sense of grandeur and reverence for the Native American way of life.
