Thomas Cole (American, 1801-1848)

male

American painter and poet of English birth. He was the leading figure in American landscape painting during the first half of the 19th century and had a significant influence on the painters of the Hudson river school, among them Jasper Cropsey, Asher B. Durand and Frederic Church (Cole's only student). In the 1850s these painters revived the moralizing narrative style of landscape in which Cole had worked during the 1830s. From the 1850s the expressive, Romantic landscape manner of Cole was eclipsed by a more direct and objective rendering of nature, yet his position at the beginning of an American landscape tradition remained unchallenged.
