This is the iconic image from Clarence Dutton's exploration landmark 'Tertiary History of the Grand Canon.' Wallace Stegner wrote of Moran: "He was an artist, a good one; and though the galleries may neglect him and historians of art pass him with a polite or condescending paragraph, and though his mountains may be a little overgrand, his canyons overawesome, his skies unnecessarily dramatic, his art is recognizably of this earth and the West."
