🎨 Who was Thomas Cole ?

Thomas Cole (1801–1848) is recognized as the founding father of American landscape painting. A visionary artist of British origin, he gave birth to the Hudson River School, the first major artistic movement in the United States. At a time of territorial conquest, he chose to paint the untouched nature of America with solemnity, symbolism, and a deep spiritual dimension.

His work is part of American Romantic painting, where the natural sublime becomes a mirror of human questioning. He develops monumental pictorial cycles such as The Course of Empire or The Voyage of Life, which combine pictorial allegory, romantic worldview, and implicit critiques of the emerging industrial society.

Painter of the sacred in the landscape, Cole elevates the Hudson River valley, the Catskill Mountains, or the forests of New England to the rank of visual myths, leaving a lasting influence on North American art.
