Its galleries showcase masterpieces by renowned artists such as Frederic Remington, Charles M. Russell, Thomas Moran, Albert Bierstadt, and many other influential figures, both traditional and contemporary. #art #westernart #codywyoming #centerofthewest #codyyellowstone | Buffalo Bill Center of the West

Few images capture the spirit of the American West like Frederic Remington’s "Coming Through the Rye." This dynamic sculpture of four galloping cowboys embodies the thrill of the frontier. Remington, often called “the grandfather of Western art,” shaped how generations view the American West. Though he died at 48, he left behind thousands of works, including 22 bronze sculptures. You can see a full-size cast at The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum—plus a larger-than-life version outside

Frederic Remington’s bronze sculpture ‘The Bronco Buster’ receives a wax and polish at the hands of one of our conservators. Fun fact – the micro-crystalline wax used here was originally formulated by the British Museum in the 1950s and is still produced in London today. See this sculpture IRL when it appears in ‘Wild West: Plains to the Pacific,’ which opens later this month. leg.hn/a07YV | Legion of Honor Museum
