Thomas Cole: The Father Of America’s First Art Movement

Thomas Cole was a painter of American landscapes and the founder of America’s first art movement, known as the Hudson River School. He is the first artist to employ Romantic landscape painting techniques to the American wilderness. Cole’s Romantic paintings of the American landscape were closely bound to the nationalism of the new nation that was forged out of the American revolution. Emphasizing local folklore, traditions, and landscapes, Cole provided the visual imagery that further spurred national identity and pride combined with spiritual renewal. The Hudson River School painters desired a more native tradition, painting recognizably American scenes. Personally and professionally, they formed networks with writers and philosophers to create a distinct American culture.
Thomas Cole infused his landscapes with symbolism suggesting that these natural scenes could be transformed into meaningful allegories, as well as immersive and transformative experiences for the viewer. With careful attention to realism, minute detail, and allusion, the resulting paintings could be appreciated both intellectually and emotionally. The images in the video of Cole’s paintings do not do them justice.
