THOMAS (1801–1848) , See also:American landscape painter, was See also:born at See also:Bolton-le-See also:Moors, See also:England, on the 1st of See also:February 18o1. In 1819 the See also:family emigrated to See also:America, settling first in See also:Philadelphia and then at See also:Steubenville, See also:Ohio, where Cole learned the rudiments of his profession from a wandering portrait painter named See also:Stein. He went about the See also:country See also:painting portraits, but with little See also:financial success. Removing to New See also:York (1825), he displayed some landscapes in the window of an eating-See also:house, where they attracted the See also:attention of the painter See also:Colonel See also:Trumbull, who sought him out, bought one of his canvases, and found him patrons. From this See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time Cole was prosperous. He is best remembered by a See also:series of pictures consisting of four canvases representing " The Voyage of See also:Life," and another series of five canvases representing " The Course of See also:Empire," the latter now in the See also:gallery of the New York See also:Historical Society. They were allegories, in the See also:taste of the See also:day, and became exceedingly popular, being reproduced in engravings with See also:great success. The See also:work, however, was meretricious, the sentiment false, artificial and conventional, and the artist's genuine fame must See also:rest on his landscapes, which, though thin in the painting, hard in the handling, and not infrequently painful in detail, were at least See also:earnest endeavours to portray the See also:world out of doors as it appeared to the painter; their failings were the result of Cole's environment and training. He had an See also:influence on his time and his See also:fellows which was considerable, and with See also:Durand he may be said to have founded the See also:early school of American landscape painters. Cole spent the years 1829–1832 and 1841–1842 abroad, mainly in See also:Italy, and at See also:Florence lived with the sculptor See also:Greenough. After 1827 he had a studio in the Catskills which furnished the subjects of some of his canvases, and he died at See also:Catskill, New York, on the 11th of February 1848. His pictures are in many public and private collections. His " See also:Expulsion from See also:Eden " is in the See also:Metropolitan Museum in New York.
