The mountain is better known due to a painting by Albert Bierstadt. In 1859, Frederick W. Lander, accompanied by Bierstadt, embarked on a western expedition. On his return he painted a mountain landscape on a large 6-by-10-foot (1.8-by-3.0-meter) canvas, The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak. Following the death of General Lander during the Civil War in 1862, Bierstadt named the peak Lander's Peak.^[2] The painting was completed in 1863 and sold in 1865 for $25,000.
