About ‘View of Schroon Mountain, New York, After a Storm, Thomas Cole’
View of Schroon Mountain, Essex County, New York, After a Storm, Thomas Cole (1838)
The artist sketched the scene in early summer, but when he created the painting in his studio, he rendered it in a dramatic blaze of fall colors. Such a choice likely had nationalistic overtones; he once proclaimed that autumn was "one season where the American forest surpasses all the world in gorgeousness."
Cole included two Indigenous men in the painting’s right foreground foliage. At this time, the Adirondacks remained home to many Native Americans long after most had been forcibly removed from land east of the Mississippi River.
