This was one of those works that he later sent to New York’s American Art-Union, a subscription-based organization that promoted American art nationally through exhibitions and the distribution of popular prints. Titled by the artist \"French Trader \u0026amp; Half breed Son\", the Art-Union changed it to the more generic and less controversial \"Fur Traders Descending the Missouri\". Bingham, who began his career as a portraitist, produced this distinctive genre painting with little precedent in his oeuvre. The tranquil scene, with its luminous atmosphere, idealized the American frontier for the benefit of an Eastern audience.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/10159\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - Full Traders Descending the Missouri\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"George Caleb Bingham","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887530615027,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (29\" x 36 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887530647795,"sku":null,"price":1747.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (16\" x 20 1\/8\")","offer_id":49887530680563,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (19 1\/2\" x 24 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887530713331,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (23 7\/8\" x 30\")","offer_id":49887530746099,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (30 7\/8\" x 38 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887530778867,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (37\" x 46 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887530811635,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (43 5\/8\" x 54 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887530844403,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (52 3\/8\" x 65 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887530877171,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/FurTradersDescendingtheMissouri_bd0e7c4a-f967-4591-add1-e15818ff28b2.jpg?v=1788974422","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/fur-traders-descending-the-missouri","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
