Zion Canyon

Oil painting titled 'Zion Canyon' by the artist Frederick Samuel Dellenbaugh (1853-1935). Dellenbaugh spent the summer of 1903 painting Zion Canyon and the paintings were exhibited in the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. Dellenbaugh wrote an article about Zion Canyon titled 'A New Valley of Wonders' in the January 1904 issue of Scribner's Magazine. Dellenbaugh's paintings and article, along with other previously created photographs, paintings, and reports, contributed to U.S. President William Howard Taft's proclamation creating Mukuntuweap National Monument on July 31 1909. Frederick Dellenbaugh was both an artist and writer. He served as an assistant topographer with Major Powell's second expedition of the Colorado River. In 1876, he left the Southwest to study at the Royal Academy in Munich, Germany and the Academie Julien, Paris, France. 15 x 28 inch painted canvas. Circa 1903.
