Grand Canyon of the Colorado River is an oil on canvas painting by English–American artist Thomas Moran, created in 1892 and 1908.

[1] Moran had had a decades-long reputation as a leading landscape painter, especially of the American West, when he was commissioned by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway to create a painting of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River with the purpose of helping to promote tourism and interest in that region.

[1] It was gifted to the Philadelphia Museum of Art by Graeme Lorimer in 1975.

[1][2] The painting depicts a vast, desolate landscape of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River, mostly in gray and dark brown, extending towards the horizon, where can be seen rocky peaks, canyons and rivers, from a high point of view, while some clouds darken parts of the setting.
