by Thomas Cole
Thomas Cole, founder of the Hudson River School, painted this majestic view of Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire. The landscape stretches toward distant mountains under a luminous sky, celebrating the unspoiled American wilderness that Cole championed throughout his career.
Cole believed American landscape could rival European scenery in grandeur and spiritual significance. His paintings helped establish a distinctly American artistic identity. This work hangs at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut, America's oldest public art museum.
