Bierstadt is better known for his large canvasses which invented the 'American sublime' (along with Thomas Moran, Frederick Church and many others) but still, here's his view of Lake Lucerne...

Comparison with a similar view from the actual lake Lucerne is interesting:

And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved
In return"
