About ‘The Garden of Eden, Thomas Cole’
The Garden of Eden, Thomas Cole
The visionary landscape painter Thomas Cole was most responsible for establishing a distinctive American art in the first decades of the nineteenth century. Through his painting and writing, he inspired a fascination with the landscape, elevating it to the honored level of history painting. By 1827 Cole was formulating an idea that expressed the full extent of his true artistic ambition: to paint landscapes of high and holy meaning. This so engaged Cole’s fertile imagination that his depiction of Eden was brought forth in lavish detail and on a grand scale.
Thomas Cole (1801 – 1848) was an English-born American painter known for his landscape and history paintings. One of the major 19th-century American painters, he is regarded as the founder of the Hudson River School.
