The hand behind it
Thomas Cole
Thomas Cole arrived in America from Lancashire as a teenager and effectively invented the country’s first school of landscape painting. Within a few years of his 1825 trip up the Hudson, other painters were following the same route looking for the same effects. His interest was never purely scenic. The Course of Empire, a five canvas sequence running from wilderness to ruin, and The Voyage of Life argue a case about civilisation and decline. He worried in print about American forests being cleared, which makes him an early conservationist voice as well as a painter. The straight landscapes hold up better than the allegories for most modern viewers. Storm light over the Catskills, blasted trees in the foreground, a valley opening beyond. Church was his only formal pupil and took the approach somewhere Cole probably never imagined.

Questions
How is the finish priced?
The price you see is the painting at the size you chose, in the finish you chose, and it updates as you change either. Rolled arrives in a protective tube, ready for local framing. Stretched arrives on wooden bars, ready to hang. Framed arrives in its frame, ready to hang. Stretched and framed go up to 60 × 90 cm (24 × 36 in); larger paintings travel rolled.
How long does it take?
Painting begins after you order and takes 3 to 4 weeks, including drying and the photo you approve. Delivery then takes 4 to 10 working days to most countries. More on delivery times.
Will it look exactly like the original?
It is painted by a person, so no. Brushwork varies between copies, which is the difference between a painting and a poster.
What if I do not like it?
Ninety days from delivery, full refund.
Can I get The Consummation in a different size or shape?
Yes. The Consummation is painted to the size you want, in the original’s proportions, or adapted to another shape on request. Stretched and framed go up to 60 x 90 cm (24 x 36 in).
