Berninghaus captures a quiet moment of reflection in the vast landscapes of the American Southwest. A lone Native American rider sits atop his horse, gazing across an open valley framed by distant mountains and rolling plains. Rather than emphasizing action or drama, Berninghaus focuses on atmosphere and place, using broad brushstrokes and soft natural colors to convey the tranquility of the scene. The rider appears small against the expansive landscape, reinforcing the deep connection between people and the land. Known for his depictions of Taos and Native American life, Berninghaus brings warmth, dignity, and authenticity to this peaceful Western vista.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artstale","offers":[{"title":"Physical \/ 18x12 \/ No Frame","offer_id":46852458512521,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 18x12 \/ Black Frame","offer_id":46852458545289,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 18x12 \/ Wood Frame","offer_id":46852458578057,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 18x12 \/ Gray Frame","offer_id":46852458610825,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 18x12 \/ White Frame","offer_id":46852458643593,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 18x12 \/ Walnut Frame","offer_id":46852458676361,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 18x12 \/ Espresso Frame","offer_id":46852458709129,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 24x16 \/ No Frame","offer_id":46852458741897,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 24x16 \/ Black Frame","offer_id":46852458774665,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 24x16 \/ Wood Frame","offer_id":46852458807433,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 24x16 \/ Gray Frame","offer_id":46852458840201,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 24x16 \/ White Frame","offer_id":46852458872969,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 24x16 \/ Walnut Frame","offer_id":46852458905737,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 24x16 \/ Espresso Frame","offer_id":46852458938505,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 30x20 \/ No Frame","offer_id":46852458971273,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 30x20 \/ Black Frame","offer_id":46852459004041,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 30x20 \/ Wood Frame","offer_id":46852459036809,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 30x20 \/ Gray Frame","offer_id":46852459069577,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 30x20 \/ White Frame","offer_id":46852459102345,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 30x20 \/ Walnut Frame","offer_id":46852459135113,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 30x20 \/ Espresso Frame","offer_id":46852459167881,"sku":null,"price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 36x24 \/ No Frame","offer_id":46852459200649,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 36x24 \/ Black Frame","offer_id":46852459233417,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 36x24 \/ Wood Frame","offer_id":46852459266185,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 36x24 \/ Gray Frame","offer_id":46852459298953,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 36x24 \/ White Frame","offer_id":46852459331721,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 36x24 \/ Walnut Frame","offer_id":46852459364489,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical \/ 36x24 \/ Espresso Frame","offer_id":46852459397257,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital Download \/ Digital \/ Digital","offer_id":46852459430025,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/6781\/1977\/files\/Indian_on_horseback.jpg?v=1780852026"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/6781\/1977\/collections\/Oscar_Berninghaus.jpg?v=1780845872","url":"https:\/\/artstale.com\/collections\/oscar-berninghaus.oembed","provider":"Artstale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
