Scenting the Breeze, c. 1837
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolor painting by Alfred Jacob Miller that transports viewers back to the untamed landscapes of early 19th-century America. The artwork depicts a lone bison standing proudly on a vast prairie, its profile outlined against the backdrop of the majestic Rocky Mountains. This painting is not just a mere representation of wildlife; it tells a story of exploration and adventure. Miller, along with Scottish soldier Sir William Drummond Stewart and trapper Thomas Fitzpatrick, embarked on an expedition through old Nebraska Territory along the Oregon Trail. Their journey led them to one of the last annual fur trappers rendezvous in what is now Wyoming's Green River Valley. The artist skillfully captures both the grandeur of nature and the spirit of discovery in this piece. The vibrant colors bring life to every brushstroke, evoking a sense of awe for both the beauty and harshness found in these uncharted lands. As we gaze upon "Scenting the Breeze" we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how pioneers like Miller ventured into unknown territories, encountering indigenous Plains Indians and trading with fur traders along their way. This print serves as a reminder not only of America's rich geographical history but also highlights our innate desire for exploration and connection with nature. It invites us to appreciate our past while inspiring us to continue exploring new frontiers today.
