Mount of the Holy Cross 

Thomas Moran's "Mount of the Holy Cross" is a stunning landscape painting that showcases the majestic beauty of the American West. The painting depicts a snow-capped mountain peak, known as Mount of the Holy Cross, with a distinct cross-shaped formation of snow on its face. The mountain is framed by a rushing river that flows through a lush, forested valley. This artwork is a prime example of the Hudson River School style of painting, which focused on capturing the grandeur of nature. The details and composition of the painting evoke a sense of awe and reverence for the natural world.
