The White Mountains 

"The White Mountains" is a landscape painting by American artist Thomas Moran, known for his dramatic depictions of the American West. This work showcases Moran's mastery of light and shadow, evident in the way the clouds cast long, dramatic shadows across the mountain peaks and valleys. A sense of depth is created through the use of aerial perspective, drawing the viewer's eye into the distance where the mountains meet the sky. The inclusion of a winding river in the foreground adds a sense of movement and dynamism to the composition.
