Thomas Cole鈥檚 The Voyage of Life
Jan 17, 2016 - Apr 03, 2016
In the late 1820s, British 茅migr茅 artist Thomas Cole emerged as a leading figure among a group of painters whose works embodied the romantic spirit of pre-Civil War America, later known as the Hudson River School. The Voyage of Life, Cole鈥檚 series of four allegorical landscapes is one of his greatest achievements. The exhibition also includes a number of important preliminary landscape and figure studies Cole made for the series, as well as a selection of drawings, prints, and photographs the series directly inspired, some of which have never previously been published or exhibited and are virtually unknown, even in the field of Thomas Cole scholarship. A magnificent landscape by Cole鈥檚 pupil and fellow Hudson River School artist, Frederic Edwin Church, will also be on view.
