The Wilds of Lake Superior

The Wilds of Lake Superior is a painting by Thomas Moran, created in 1864. 



The artwork depicts a dramatic landscape of a rocky river cascading down a series of waterfalls, set against a backdrop of mountainous terrain. The sky is filled with dark, stormy clouds, with a shaft of sunlight breaking through the clouds and illuminating part of the scene. The foreground features rugged rocks, fallen trees, and patches of vegetation. The overall mood is one of wild, untamed nature. The painting is in the collection of the New Britain Museum of American Art. The dimensions are not provided in the metadata.
