Chap 3 Artist Review : Thomas Cole

Thomas Cole was painter who used landscapes as his painting subject during the 19th century. His most famous painting is "The Oxbow." In the painting is a river curving down small mountains, Cole drew what he saw down to small details of the farmland, trees and dark stormy clouds. Looking at the painting makes you feel like you can walk right into that landscape, like you were on one of the mountain tops looking down.
