N.B. Hill originally specialized in portraits and still lives, but, at the encouragement of his German tutor, Paul Mayerheim, he changed his focus to large scale landscape painting. In 1861, he visited the Yosemite Valley, which sparked a lifelong artistic obsession with the area. Over the next few years, Hill became well known and respected for his images of Yosemite, as well as for his style of loose brushwork juxtaposed with dabs of dry impasto.
