Thomas Cole, the founder of the Hudson River School, is renowned for his breathtaking landscapes. Among his most famous works is The Oxbow, a painting that captures the essence of American wilderness and civilization in one stunning panorama.
A Tale of Two Landscapes
The Oxbow (1836) is an exploration of contrasts. The painting features a stormy, untamed wilderness on the left and a peaceful, cultivated landscape on the right. This dichotomy highlights Cole's fascination with the relationship between nature and human progress.
