Explore Thomas Cole

English artist who traveled to the United States in 1836 to create drawings of American scenes for the volume American Scenery, or Land, Lake, and River Illustrations of Transatlantic Nature, published in 1840 and considered one of the most widely influential books of landscape views in the nineteenth century. Bartlett sketched many of the same views as Thomas Cole, such as The Caaterskill Falls from Below (c.1830s).
