Thomas Cole was a large part of the Romanticism movement that swept through America during the 1800's. From a young age Cole showed signs of great art ability. As he grew he continued to work at his craft and later helped others master their talent by opening up his Hudson River School. Thomas Cole is most known for his great ability to portray the wilderness and wildlife in a serene fashion.
This picture is an example of many different types of soothing colors. In the background the leaves on the trees use different brush strokes to emphasize their different stems. The artist also uses darker colors to make them more prominent. In the upper corner the artist created a more serene bright colors. He did this by using brighter colors.
One of the best features about the painting is its balance. Near the top of the painting there is a yellowish color that slowly blends and changes its a dull rust color. This painting also has great harmony throughout it.
