"Grand Canon of the Yellowstone" by Thomas Moran. This is the most famous and consequential land-protection painting in the world, for it made members of Congress swoon and ignited the global national park movement that started with the creation of Yellowstone on March 1 in 1872. Painting can be viewed, as part of your own heritage, at the Smithsonian's American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.
