Landscape, Thomas Cole, 1825, Minneapolis Institute of Art: PaintingsLandscape. Thomas Cole, born in England, came to America in 1818 and soon was depicting the beauty and majesty of the American landscape. In this scene, he portrays a community of frontier people living in a valley, probably in upstate New York. Their attempt to tame the wilderness foreshadows similar pioneering activities in Minnesota a quarter century later.Size: 23 ¾ x 31 ½ in. (60.33 x 80.01 cm) (canvas) 36 ¼ x 43 ¾ x 5 ½ in.
