'''Thomas Cole''' (1801-1848) was an (English-born) American Romantic [[landscape]] [[painter]] and poet. Cole studied at the Philadelphia Academy of Art. He was one of the leaders of [[The Hudson River School]]. [[Frederic Edwin Church]] was his only student; he also had a significant influence on Jasper Cropsey and [[Asher Brown Durand|Asher Durand]]. Cole died when he was only 47.
<blockquote>
In 1829–32 he visited Europe, and it was partly the influence of [[William Turner]] and John Martin that encouraged him to turn from the depiction of natural scenery towards grandiose historical and allegorical themes, notably in two great series of paintings: ''The Course of Empire'' (1836, New-York Historical Society) and ''The Voyage of Life'' (1839–40, Munson-Williams-Proctor Inst., Utica). [http://www.enotes.com/oxford-art-encyclopedia/cole-thomas] Another series, The ''Cross of the World'', was of religious nature; it was started at the end of his life.
