Foreword
Thomas Cole (1801-1848) was named by the artistic critic founder of the Hudson River School, a group of American artists who painted landscapes in the mid-19th century. The painters of this artistic movement became famous for their realistic, yet monumental and romantic way of presenting in their paintings the American nature, both naturalistic and idealized.
Thomas Cole as one of that artistic circle, most of all a landscape artist, but for him is characteristic allegorical way of imagination in lot of his paintings. The artist was best known for his five-part series, which he himself titled The Course of Empire. Another very popular series of four paintings was titled The Voyage of Life, of which two versions have been preserved today.
Besides these two series, inspired with romanticism and allegories’, other very popular paintings by the artist are Lake with Dead Trees, Oxbow, the Notch of the White Mountains, Daniel Boone at His cabin at the Great Osage Lake as well and his painting The Garden of Eden. The latter is a model of Thomas Cole's manner of putting mythological characters into an atmosphere of beautiful and magnificent scenery with well-developed details.
The artist, like most of the famous American artists of his age, made a great journey across Europe to study the art of the old masters and, in particular, their art of painting landscapes. From this trip to Europe, he has left us some magnificent landscapes of the active volcano in Mount Etna, at least six of his paintings on this theme have survived, and many pencil sketches. Thomas Cole also painted many antique ruins in Europe, especially in Greece and Italy.
He has a strong influence on the American landscape artists after him, especially to two of them who were his disciples and followers - Asher B. Durand and Frederic Edwin Church.
