Urodził się w 1801 roku w Anglii, ale to w Stanach Zjednoczonych odnalazł swoją artystyczną tożsamość. Malował rozległe krajobrazy: góry, rzeki i lasy, często ukazując człowieka jako niewielką część ogromnego, niemal mistycznego świata przyrody.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.85; margin: 0; opacity: 0.85;\"\u003eJego obrazy nie były tylko wiernym odwzorowaniem widoków – niosły też głębsze przesłanie. W cyklach takich jak „The Course of Empire” pokazywał, jak cywilizacje powstają i upadają, kontrastując naturę z ludzką ambicją.

Thomas Cole guides the eye across the manicured gardens of the old van Rensselaer estate, where tended lawns meet the soft line of trees and the mansion becomes a quiet accent in a harmonious landscape. Everything breathes order and abundance — a world in which nature has been shaped by human hands yet keeps its dignified beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe artist arranges light with great sensitivity, letting it glide over the treetops and open stretches of grass. A palette of deep greens, warm browns and cool sky-blues creates a sense of space one would gladly wander step by step. Even in so intimate a scene, Cole — a master of the American landscape — preserves his romantic sensibility, as if every corner of the garden held its own quiet story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis work is more than a view of an estate — it is a portrait of an age and its dream of balance between civilisation and nature. Looking at it, we find calm and a feeling of permanence, as though time had slowed for a moment. A reproduction of this painting brings to any interior an atmosphere of refined elegance and timeless beauty that never tires the eye.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 1px; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 1px; background: rgba(255,255,255,0.2); height: 100%; min-height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle: \u003c\/strong\u003eGardens of the van Rensselaer Manor House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal title: \u003c\/strong\u003e Gardens of the van Rensselaer Manor House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003eThomas Cole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate: \u003c\/strong\u003e ok. 1840\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlace of origin: \u003c\/strong\u003eAlbany, Nowy Jork, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType :\u003c\/strong\u003e Painting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique: \u003c\/strong\u003eOil on canvas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003ePejzaż z architekturą\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003eRomantyzm (Hudson River School)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm: \u003c\/strong\u003ePainting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giclee Art","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Pine","offer_id":57782184542556,"sku":null,"price":229.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782184575324,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Pine","offer_id":57782184608092,"sku":null,"price":389.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782184640860,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Pine","offer_id":57782184673628,"sku":null,"price":575.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782184706396,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782184739164,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782184771932,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782184804700,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782184837468,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782184870236,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782184903004,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782184935772,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782184968540,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782185001308,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0517\/2828\/files\/Thomas_Cole_-_Gardens_of_the_van_Rensselaer_Manor_House_-_Full.webp?v=1780416166"},{"product_id":"thomas-cole-l-allegro","title":"Thomas Cole - L'Allegro","description":"\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"3\" style=\"padding-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eL'Allegro\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; color: #888; margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eThomas Cole\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #888; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e1 Lut 1801 - 11 Lut 1848\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.2); width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003eThis is joy captured in light. Thomas Cole paints an idealised landscape bathed in warm, golden radiance, in which gentle hills, stately trees and a sweeping valley seem to pulse with calm, sunlit life. The title, drawn from John Milton's poem, announces a mood of cheerfulness and ease — and just such a world unfolds before the viewer, like a dream of nature's perfect harmony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe composition breathes with space and light. Cole leads the eye from a lively foreground, along the meanders of a river and ribbons of green, toward the luminous, misty mountains on the horizon. Warm yellows, soft greens and clear blues create an Arcadian idyll in which time seems to flow slowly and every element of the landscape sounds a single, joyful chord.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"L'Allegro\" is a vision of nature as a source of solace and wonder — a romantic praise of the beauty of a world in which one finds peace. The work brings into an interior the energy of a sunny day and a poetic lightness that is hard to resist, radiating warmth whatever the season outside.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe canvas was painted in 1845 as one of a pair: the joyful \"L'Allegro\" was set against the melancholy \"Il Penseroso\", both titles taken by Cole from two famous poems by John Milton. This dialogue of light and contemplation is among the most poetic ideas in the artist's work.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 1px; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 1px; background: rgba(255,255,255,0.2); height: 100%; min-height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle: \u003c\/strong\u003eL'Allegro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal title: \u003c\/strong\u003e L'Allegro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003eThomas Cole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlace of origin: \u003c\/strong\u003eCatskill, Nowy Jork, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType :\u003c\/strong\u003e Painting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique: \u003c\/strong\u003eOil on canvas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003ePejzaż idealizowany (alegoryczny)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003eRomantyzm (Hudson River School)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm: \u003c\/strong\u003ePainting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giclee Art","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Pine","offer_id":57782186508636,"sku":null,"price":229.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782186541404,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Pine","offer_id":57782186574172,"sku":null,"price":389.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782186606940,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Pine","offer_id":57782186639708,"sku":null,"price":575.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782186672476,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782186705244,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782186738012,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782186770780,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782186803548,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782186836316,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782186869084,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782186901852,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782186934620,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782186967388,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0517\/2828\/files\/Thomas_Cole_-_L_Allegro_-_Full.jpg?v=1780416228"},{"product_id":"thomas-cole-scena-z-ostatniego-mohikanina-cora-kleczaca-u-stop-tamenunda","title":"Thomas Cole - Scene from \"The Last of the Mohicans,\" Cora Kneeling at the Feet of Tamenund","description":"\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"3\" style=\"padding-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eScene from \"The Last of the Mohicans,\" Cora Kneeling at the Feet of Tamenund\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; color: #888; margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eThomas Cole\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #888; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e1 Lut 1801 - 11 Lut 1848\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.2); width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003eThomas Cole carries us into the very heart of American wilderness and literary drama. Amid a vast, almost cosmic setting of rocky peaks and ancient forests, a tense moment from James Fenimore Cooper's novel unfolds — Cora kneels at the feet of the aged chief Tamenund, surrounded by a gathering of Native people. Man seems tiny against the might of the mountains, yet it is this human gesture of pleading that gives the whole scene its emotional charge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe painter builds space with great sweep: monumental rock formations rise toward the sky, while the crowd of figures forms a colourful, restless ring on the wide clearing. Here Cole unites his two passions — the sublime romantic landscape and the story of human fate. Cool blues and greys of the rock contrast with warm accents of green and earthy browns, and the light draws out the drama of the moment as if on a stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis work is at once a tribute to the wild, untamed nature of the New World and a meditation on transience — on the twilight of an old order and the tragedy of clashing cultures.

Thomas Cole paints the moment of revelation — an angel descends from a brightened sky to announce to the shepherds the birth of the Saviour, and its presence pierces the darkness like a sudden miracle.

Thomas Cole built an impossible stage: Egyptian pyramids and mighty columns stand beside Greek temples, Roman arches and a soaring Gothic cathedral veiled in mist. It is not a landscape but a theatre of architectural history, gathering every great age of building into one breathtaking gaze.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLight divides the painting into two moods. On one side a warm, golden sun spreads across classical marble, lending it an aura of fulfilment and power; on the other, in cool shadow, the Gothic tower dissolves into blue reverie, like the memory of another spirituality. Cole renders cornices, colonnades and staircases with astonishing precision, yet bathes the whole in a dreamlike unreality where monumentality mingles with the melancholy of passing time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeneath the architectural splendour lies a reflection close to Cole's heart: the question of how lasting human achievement can be. The man at the summit is tiny against the vastness his imagination has conjured, and the lofty structures seem to remind us that every civilisation dreams of eternity yet raises its temples upon the sands of time. This is a painting of ambition, beauty and fragility — a vision that dazzles with its scope while inviting quiet contemplation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe canvas was painted in 1840 as a commission for the influential architect Ithiel Town, who wished for a work celebrating the art of building. Cole went further than expected, creating an elaborate allegory that initially disappointed his patron and was refused by him. Today it is regarded as one of the most fascinating works of American Romanticism and belongs to the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 1px; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 1px; background: rgba(255,255,255,0.2); height: 100%; min-height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Architect's Dream\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal title: \u003c\/strong\u003e The Architect's Dream\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003eThomas Cole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1840\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlace of origin: \u003c\/strong\u003eNowy Jork, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType :\u003c\/strong\u003e Painting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique: \u003c\/strong\u003eOil on canvas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003ePejzaż architektoniczny (capriccio)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003eRomantyzm (Hudson River School)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm: \u003c\/strong\u003ePainting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giclee Art","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Pine","offer_id":57782199222620,"sku":null,"price":229.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782199255388,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Pine","offer_id":57782199288156,"sku":null,"price":389.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782199320924,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Pine","offer_id":57782199353692,"sku":null,"price":575.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782199386460,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782199419228,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782199451996,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782199484764,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782199517532,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782199550300,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782199583068,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782199615836,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782199648604,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782199681372,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0517\/2828\/files\/Thomas_Cole_-_The_Architect_s_Dream_-_Full.jpg?v=1780416424"},{"product_id":"thomas-cole-bieg-imperium-zniszczenie","title":"Thomas Cole - The Course of Empire: Destruction","description":"\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"3\" style=\"padding-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eThe Course of Empire: Destruction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; color: #888; margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eThomas Cole\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #888; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e1 Lut 1801 - 11 Lut 1848\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.2); width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003eThis is the moment when a magnificent city cracks like an overfilled vessel. Thomas Cole paints catastrophe at its peak: the sky blazes red with fire and smoke, marble buildings that moments ago were symbols of power collapse into rubble, and across the crumbling bridges surges a chaotic wave of invaders, flame and blood. The whole composition trembles with motion — warriors, fugitives, ravaged women and toppled statues twine into a single raging vortex of violence that seems to swallow every inch of canvas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith theatrical sweep Cole stages a spectacle of downfall. At the centre, on a shattered bridge, men fight and die, while a headless statue of a warrior — once a proud monument of triumph — rises above the massacre like a bitter irony of fate. The stormy sky, raging sea and billowing smoke heighten the sense of a cosmic judgement in which nature and history together punish the pride of civilisation. Every detail, from burning ships to fleeing crowds, builds a narrative of the violent end of a world that seemed eternal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe painting is the fourth scene of Cole's famous five-part cycle 'The Course of Empire', in which he traces the birth, flowering and ruin of civilisations set within the same recognisable landscape.

Thomas Cole paints a landscape reconciled with humankind: soft hills, a calm bay and the same distinctive crag crowning the rock that we recognise throughout the cycle, now wrapped in warm, idyllic light. The sky is bright and clear, and faint trails of smoke from kindled fires drift over the valley like a sign that nature and civilisation have learned to live in harmony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCole populates this Arcadia with scenes of peaceful, creative life. Shepherds lead their flocks, children dance and scratch drawings in the earth with a stick, a woman spins thread, and in the distance rises a round temple and slender columns — the first traces of architecture and knowledge. Everything breathes calm and balance: a world before pride and excess, in which labour, art and religion are only beginning to flower and people draw from the land with moderation and gratitude. The painter conveys this mood with a pastel, luminous palette and soft modelling that soothe the eye.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe canvas is the second scene of the five-part cycle 'The Course of Empire' and depicts an idyllic stage of a civilisation's growth — a moment of delicate balance before its later, violent rise and fall. It is a vision of a lost paradise, an Arcadian dream of simple, harmonious existence that Cole sets against the chaos and destruction of the later parts of the series. Within the whole story, 'The Arcadian State' sounds like a nostalgic reminder of what civilisation abandons when it begins to chase after power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cycle was created between 1833 and 1836 for the New York patron Luman Reed and was inspired by Cole's reading of Byron and his reflection on the fate of empires. The set of five paintings is held by the New-York Historical Society, where 'The Arcadian or Pastoral State' remains one of the most beautiful and most reproduced depictions of an ideal, idyllic landscape in American art.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 1px; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 1px; background: rgba(255,255,255,0.2); height: 100%; min-height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Course of Empire: The Arcadian or Pastoral State\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal title: \u003c\/strong\u003e The Course of Empire: The Arcadian or Pastoral State\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003eThomas Cole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1834\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlace of origin: \u003c\/strong\u003eNowy Jork, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType :\u003c\/strong\u003e Painting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique: \u003c\/strong\u003eOil on canvas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003ePejzaż alegoryczny (sielanka arkadyjska)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003eRomantyzm (Hudson River School)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm: \u003c\/strong\u003ePainting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giclee Art","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Pine","offer_id":57782202237276,"sku":null,"price":229.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782202270044,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Pine","offer_id":57782202302812,"sku":null,"price":389.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782202335580,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Pine","offer_id":57782202368348,"sku":null,"price":575.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782202401116,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782202433884,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782202466652,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782202499420,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782202532188,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782202564956,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782202597724,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782202630492,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782202663260,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782202696028,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0517\/2828\/files\/Thomas_Cole_-_The_Course_of_Empire_the_Arcadian_or_Pastoral_State_-_Full.jpg?v=1780416550"},{"product_id":"thomas-cole-bieg-imperium-apogeum-imperium","title":"Thomas Cole - The Course of Empire: The Consummation of Empire","description":"\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"3\" style=\"padding-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eThe Course of Empire: The Consummation of Empire\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; color: #888; margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eThomas Cole\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #888; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e1 Lut 1801 - 11 Lut 1848\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.2); width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003eHere is a civilisation at the summit of its power and splendour. Thomas Cole transforms the modest Arcadian valley into a dazzling metropolis of white marble, where colonnades, palaces, statues and monumental porticoes stretch to the horizon, mirrored in the calm surface of the bay. The air is filled with festive magnificence: colourful crowds, fluttering banners, golden vessels and the triumphal procession of a ruler in purple, borne through the city like a living god. It is a vision of abundance so lavish that it almost dazzles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery inch of the canvas pulses with rich detail — Cole builds, with almost theatrical precision, an architecture worthy of imperial Rome, while between the temples unfolds a sumptuous, clamorous life. The same rocky crag we recognise in the other parts of the cycle barely rises above the rooftops, almost swallowed by human achievement. Yet within this saturation of splendour hides a subtle unease: the world seems too sated, too sure of itself, as if at the peak of a curve from which it can only descend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe painting is the third, central scene of the five-part cycle 'The Course of Empire' and depicts the climax of flowering — the apogee of wealth, power and pride, after which, as we know from the later parts, destruction and desolation will come. Cole deliberately turns this splendour into a warning: dazzling power already contains the seed of its own fall. It is at once a tribute to human achievement and a bitter meditation on the impermanence of all glory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cycle was created between 1833 and 1836 for the New York patron Luman Reed, while Cole worked at a time when America was vividly debating the fate of the republic and the spectre of tyranny. 'The Consummation of Empire' is the most elaborate and densely populated canvas of the series, today held with the others at the New-York Historical Society and regarded as one of the most ambitious narrative paintings of the age.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 1px; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 1px; background: rgba(255,255,255,0.2); height: 100%; min-height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Course of Empire: The Consummation of Empire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal title: \u003c\/strong\u003e The Course of Empire: The Consummation of Empire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003eThomas Cole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1835-1836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlace of origin: \u003c\/strong\u003eNowy Jork, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType :\u003c\/strong\u003e Painting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique: \u003c\/strong\u003eOil on canvas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003ePejzaż alegoryczny (malarstwo historyczne)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003eRomantyzm (Hudson River School)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm: \u003c\/strong\u003ePainting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giclee Art","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Pine","offer_id":57782205841756,"sku":null,"price":229.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782205874524,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Pine","offer_id":57782205907292,"sku":null,"price":389.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782205940060,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Pine","offer_id":57782205972828,"sku":null,"price":575.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782206005596,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782206038364,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782206071132,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782206103900,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782206136668,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782206169436,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782206202204,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782206234972,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782206267740,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782206300508,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0517\/2828\/files\/Thomas_Cole_-_The_Course_of_Empire_the_Consummation_of_Empire_-_Full.jpg?v=1780416611"},{"product_id":"thomas-cole-ogrod-eden","title":"Thomas Cole - The Garden of Eden","description":"\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"3\" style=\"padding-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eThe Garden of Eden\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; color: #888; margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eThomas Cole\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #888; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e1 Lut 1801 - 11 Lut 1848\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.2); width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003eThomas Cole leads us into a land that seems to exist beyond time — lush, radiant and teeming with life. The eye is first drawn to a stream cascading through dense tropical greenery, palms bending under the weight of their fruit, and ranges of mountains dissolving into the golden haze of the horizon. Everything is bathed in a warm, almost paradisiacal light that makes the landscape appear to breathe. This is no ordinary view of nature — it is a vision of the world at its dawn, untouched and perfect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the shade of the spreading trees, almost imperceptible against the vastness of the landscape, we glimpse two tiny figures — Adam and Eve. Cole deliberately places humankind as a minute element of a cosmic order, subordinate to the power and beauty of creation. This disproportion does not diminish them — on the contrary, it lends the whole scene a spiritual dimension in which nature becomes a temple and the silence of the world's morning sounds almost sacred.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe painting enchants with its contrast between wild, untamed nature and a sense of absolute harmony. Cole, a master of the Romantic landscape, combines botanical precision with a theatrical composition of light and space. Looking at this canvas, it is hard to resist the impression that we are witnessing not merely a landscape but a dream of purity and fullness — a longing for a place where humanity and nature still spoke the same language.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 1px; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 1px; background: rgba(255,255,255,0.2); height: 100%; min-height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Garden of Eden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal title: \u003c\/strong\u003e The Garden of Eden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003eThomas Cole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlace of origin: \u003c\/strong\u003eStany Zjednoczone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType :\u003c\/strong\u003e Painting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique: \u003c\/strong\u003eOil on canvas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003ePejzaż romantyczny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003eRomanticism \/ Hudson River School\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm: \u003c\/strong\u003ePainting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giclee Art","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Pine","offer_id":57782210789724,"sku":null,"price":229.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782210822492,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Pine","offer_id":57782210855260,"sku":null,"price":389.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782210888028,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Pine","offer_id":57782210920796,"sku":null,"price":575.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782210953564,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782210986332,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782211019100,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782211051868,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782211084636,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782211117404,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782211150172,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782211182940,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782211215708,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782211248476,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0517\/2828\/files\/Thomas_Cole_-_The_Garden_of_Eden_-_Full.jpg?v=1780416682"},{"product_id":"thomas-cole-gorski-brod","title":"Thomas Cole - The Mountain Ford","description":"\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"3\" style=\"padding-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eThe Mountain Ford\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; color: #888; margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eThomas Cole\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #888; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e1 Lut 1801 - 11 Lut 1848\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.2); width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003eIn the foreground of this painting, a rider on a white horse crosses a shallow, stony ford while a majestic mountain landscape unfolds around him. Thomas Cole renders with masterful precision the clear water reflecting the sky and the soaring peaks rising upward as if to touch the clouds. The small human figure, almost lost in the immensity of nature, underscores the scale and power of this wild, untouched world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLight plays the leading role here — warm rays break through the clouds, laying golden streaks across the rocks and water, while part of the composition sinks into deep, Romantic shadow. This contrast lends the scene drama and remarkable depth, leading the eye from the bright foreground toward the mysterious, misty distances. Cole builds an atmosphere of stillness and, at the same time, of elevation, so characteristic of American Romanticism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe painting is a tribute to the American wilderness — a land Cole regarded as sacred, worthy of awe and reverence. The lone traveller crossing the stream becomes a symbol of the human journey through untamed nature, perhaps even a metaphor for a spiritual path. A work in which geographic accuracy meets poetic exaltation, it invites the viewer to contemplate the silence and grandeur of the mountains.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 1px; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 1px; background: rgba(255,255,255,0.2); height: 100%; min-height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Mountain Ford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal title: \u003c\/strong\u003e The Mountain Ford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003eThomas Cole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlace of origin: \u003c\/strong\u003eStany Zjednoczone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType :\u003c\/strong\u003e Painting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique: \u003c\/strong\u003eOil on canvas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003eMountain landscape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003eRomanticism \/ Hudson River School\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm: \u003c\/strong\u003ePainting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giclee Art","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Pine","offer_id":57782231073116,"sku":null,"price":229.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782231105884,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Pine","offer_id":57782231138652,"sku":null,"price":389.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782231171420,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Pine","offer_id":57782231204188,"sku":null,"price":575.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782231236956,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782231269724,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782231302492,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782231335260,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782231368028,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782231400796,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782231433564,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782231466332,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782231499100,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782231531868,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0517\/2828\/files\/Thomas_Cole_-_The_Mountain_Ford_-_Full.webp?v=1780416738"},{"product_id":"thomas-cole-przeszlosc","title":"Thomas Cole - The Past","description":"\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"3\" style=\"padding-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eThe Past\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; color: #888; margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eThomas Cole\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #888; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e1 Lut 1801 - 11 Lut 1848\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.2); width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003eThomas Cole transports us into a world of medieval splendour, where a mighty castle towers over a vast valley bathed in warm afternoon light. In the foreground unfolds a colourful jousting tournament — banners flutter in the wind, crowds of spectators fill the stands, and armoured riders clash in combat. Cole builds, on a grand scale, a vision of a proud age full of life, ritual and brilliance, in which human civilization seems to stand at the very peak of its glory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery detail of this composition pulses with energy and abundance — from the architectural immensity of the stronghold, through the lush green of the landscape, to the golden hues of the sky. The artist captures with extraordinary mastery an atmosphere of festivity and order, in which nature and the works of man coexist in harmony. It is a painting of triumph — civilization at its apogee, certain of its own permanence and might.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet 'The Past' takes on its full meaning only alongside its counterpart — the painting 'The Present', which shows the same castle reduced to ruin, abandoned and overgrown. In this diptych Cole enshrined one of his favourite messages: a meditation on transience, inevitable decline and the fragility of human achievement. 'The Past' is a memory of lost greatness — a moment of glory held on canvas before time turns everything to dust.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 1px; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 1px; background: rgba(255,255,255,0.2); height: 100%; min-height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Past\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal title: \u003c\/strong\u003e The Past\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003eThomas Cole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlace of origin: \u003c\/strong\u003eStany Zjednoczone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType :\u003c\/strong\u003e Painting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique: \u003c\/strong\u003eOil on canvas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003ePejzaż historyczny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003eRomanticism \/ Hudson River School\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm: \u003c\/strong\u003ePainting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giclee Art","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Pine","offer_id":57782240903516,"sku":null,"price":229.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782240936284,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Pine","offer_id":57782240969052,"sku":null,"price":389.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782241001820,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Pine","offer_id":57782241034588,"sku":null,"price":575.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782241067356,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782241100124,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782241132892,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782241165660,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782241198428,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782241231196,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782241263964,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782241296732,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782241329500,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782241362268,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0517\/2828\/files\/Thomas_Cole_-_The_Past_-_Full.webp?v=1780416795"},{"product_id":"thomas-cole-piknik","title":"Thomas Cole - The Pic-Nic","description":"\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"3\" style=\"padding-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eThe Pic-Nic\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; color: #888; margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eThomas Cole\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #888; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e1 Lut 1801 - 11 Lut 1848\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.2); width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003eBeneath a canopy of spreading trees, in the shade of a cool forest, a group of elegantly dressed people enjoy the pleasures of a summer picnic. Thomas Cole paints a scene full of serenity and ease — the white dresses of the ladies glow amid the greenery, the dishes and wicker baskets laid out on the grass speak of a carefree afternoon, and in the background, beyond the tree trunks, the calm surface of a lake glitters. It is an intimate, human moment of joy set within a majestic American landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCole tenderly unites two worlds here — an intimate social scene and the power of the nature that surrounds it. Light filters through the foliage, casting a play of shadows on the ground and gently illuminating the figures. In one part of the painting a young woman and a man are in conversation; elsewhere someone plays an instrument — the whole breathes music, talk and the calm of a long, lazy day spent in the lap of nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this work Cole, known above all for his monumental landscapes and allegories, reveals his gentler, more lyrical side. In place of the sublime terror of the wilderness, he offers a vision of harmony between humanity and nature — an image of idyllic coexistence in which civilization does not conquer the landscape but finds repose within it. 'The Pic-Nic' is a celebration of the moment, of simple joy and the beauty of everyday life amid nature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 1px; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 1px; background: rgba(255,255,255,0.2); height: 100%; min-height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Pic-Nic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal title: \u003c\/strong\u003e The Pic-Nic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003eThomas Cole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlace of origin: \u003c\/strong\u003eStany Zjednoczone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType :\u003c\/strong\u003e Painting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique: \u003c\/strong\u003eOil on canvas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003eScena rodzajowa w pejzażu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003eRomanticism \/ Hudson River School\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm: \u003c\/strong\u003ePainting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giclee Art","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Pine","offer_id":57782250144092,"sku":null,"price":229.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782250176860,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Pine","offer_id":57782250209628,"sku":null,"price":389.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782250242396,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Pine","offer_id":57782250275164,"sku":null,"price":575.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782250307932,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782250340700,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782250373468,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782250406236,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782250439004,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782250471772,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782250504540,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782250537308,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782250570076,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782250602844,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0517\/2828\/files\/Thomas_Cole_-_The_Pic-Nic_-_Full.jpg?v=1780416857"},{"product_id":"thomas-cole-podroz-zycia-starosc","title":"Thomas Cole - The Voyage of Life: Old Age","description":"\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"3\" style=\"padding-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eThe Voyage of Life: Old Age\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; color: #888; margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eThomas Cole\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #888; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e1 Lut 1801 - 11 Lut 1848\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.2); width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003eThis is the finale of Thomas Cole's great four-part meditation on human destiny — the moment when the river of life empties into a dark, boundless ocean. The boat, once ornate and full of hope, is now battered, stripped of its rudder and ornaments; it carries a white-haired old man who has reached the end of his journey. Cole does not paint a landscape in the ordinary sense — he paints the threshold between the earthly and the eternal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe composition is given almost entirely to sky and water, which merge into a single misty expanse. Heavy, shadowy clouds part, and through the rift pours a supernatural, golden radiance. From it an angel emerges, pointing the soul toward the light with a gentle, almost tender gesture. The guardian angel who accompanied the traveller in earlier parts of the cycle now hovers beside the boat, as if entrusting the old man to eternity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe power of this painting lies in the contrast between dread and consolation. The darkness of the water evokes fear of the unknown, yet the light splitting the sky carries a promise of peace and hope. Deeply religious, Cole rendered here the Christian vision of death not as an end but as a passage — the moment in which a lifetime's labour gives way to serene contemplation and the soul's release.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCole painted the \"Voyage of Life\" cycle in two versions: the first in 1840, the second — now the best known — in 1842 in Rome, after he lost access to the originals.

To the left, a hillside still lies in the shadow of a passing storm — tangled, dramatic, wild. To the right, the valley of the Connecticut River spreads into a calm, sunlit mosaic of fields and farms, while the river itself traces the famous, almost complete horseshoe bend from which the painting takes its popular name.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe canvas is built on the tension of two worlds. On one side, untamed nature: a fallen, lightning-shattered tree, roiling clouds, a steep slope. On the other, a landscape tamed by human hands, ordered and bathed in light after the storm has passed. Cole leads the eye along this boundary like a moralist, urging us to weigh what remains of the wilderness once civilization begins to write its story upon the land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a painting of a pivotal moment — not only meteorological but historical. The storm departs, the sun returns, and the America of the early nineteenth century stands at a crossroads between primeval forest and advancing settlement. Cole, alert to the beauty of wild nature and at once aware of its fragility, painted here a landscape that is both hymn and warning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you look closely at the mountainside on the right, you can spot a tiny figure of the artist himself at his easel, in a straw hat, glancing toward the viewer. Cole painted the work in 1836 for exhibition, and today \"The Oxbow\" is one of the icons of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 1px; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 1px; background: rgba(255,255,255,0.2); height: 100%; min-height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle: \u003c\/strong\u003eView from Mount Holyoke, Northampton, Massachusetts, after a Thunderstorm—The Oxbow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal title: \u003c\/strong\u003e View from Mount Holyoke, Northampton, Massachusetts, after a Thunderstorm—The Oxbow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003eThomas Cole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlace of origin: \u003c\/strong\u003eStany Zjednoczone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType :\u003c\/strong\u003e Painting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique: \u003c\/strong\u003eOil on canvas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003eLandscape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003eRomanticism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm: \u003c\/strong\u003ePainting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giclee Art","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Pine","offer_id":57782260367708,"sku":null,"price":229.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782260400476,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Pine","offer_id":57782260433244,"sku":null,"price":389.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782260466012,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Pine","offer_id":57782260498780,"sku":null,"price":575.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782260531548,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782260564316,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782260597084,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782260629852,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782260662620,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782260695388,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782260728156,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782260760924,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782260793692,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782260826460,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0517\/2828\/files\/Thomas_Cole_-_View_from_Mount_Holyoke_Northampton_Massachusetts_After_a_Thunderstorm_The_Oxbow_-_Full.webp?v=1780416971"},{"product_id":"thomas-cole-widok-na-zatoke-frenchman-s-bay-z-wyspy-mount-desert-po-szkwale","title":"Thomas Cole - View Across Frenchman's Bay from Mount Desert Island, after a Squall","description":"\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"3\" style=\"padding-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eView Across Frenchman's Bay from Mount Desert Island, after a Squall\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; color: #888; margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eThomas Cole\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #888; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e1 Lut 1801 - 11 Lut 1848\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.2); width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003eThomas Cole takes us to the rugged coast of Maine, where the cliffs of Mount Desert Island descend toward the waters of Frenchman's Bay. A stormy squall has just passed, leaving the sky torn between heavy clouds and returning brightness. The air still seems saturated with moisture and tension, and the waves breaking against the shoreline boulders carry the echo of a just-experienced violence of the elements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a primeval landscape, almost untouched by human hands — a world of granite, sea and sky in their purest state. With Romantic sensitivity, Cole captures the moment of transition: that brief, magical instant when nature settles after the storm and the light begins anew to paint the rocks, the water and the mist. The scale of the painting makes the viewer tiny before the vastness of the coast, awakening a feeling of the sublime and of humility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this work the landscape ceases to be merely a view and becomes an experience — an almost tangible sense of the damp wind, the cold of the rocks and the power of the ocean. Cole, among the first American painters to discover the wild beauty of Maine, shows nature as a force at once threatening and sanctifying, worthy of the highest awe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the mid-nineteenth century Mount Desert Island had become a favourite destination for American landscape painters, and Cole was one of the pioneers who turned attention toward it after his visits in 1844. Works from this coast made the region famous well before the creation of today's Acadia National Park.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 1px; padding-top: 16px; padding-right: 32px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 1px; background: rgba(255,255,255,0.2); height: 100%; min-height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 45%; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle: \u003c\/strong\u003eView Across Frenchman's Bay from Mount Desert Island, after a Squall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal title: \u003c\/strong\u003e View Across Frenchman's Bay from Mount Desert Island, after a Squall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003eThomas Cole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlace of origin: \u003c\/strong\u003eStany Zjednoczone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType :\u003c\/strong\u003e Painting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique: \u003c\/strong\u003eOil on canvas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003eMarine landscape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003eRomanticism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm: \u003c\/strong\u003ePainting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giclee Art","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Pine","offer_id":57782261219676,"sku":null,"price":229.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782261252444,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Pine","offer_id":57782261285212,"sku":null,"price":389.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782261317980,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Pine","offer_id":57782261350748,"sku":null,"price":575.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782261383516,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782261416284,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782261449052,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782261481820,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782261514588,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782261547356,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782261580124,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ S \/ Oak","offer_id":57782261612892,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ L \/ Oak","offer_id":57782261645660,"sku":null,"price":479.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark brown \/ XL \/ Oak","offer_id":57782261678428,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0517\/2828\/files\/Thomas_Cole_-_Views_Across_Frenchman_s_Bay_from_Mt._Desert_Island_After_a_Squall_-_Full.webp?v=1780417028"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/0517\/2828\/collections\/Andreas_Achenbach_-_Raddampfer_in_sturmischer_See_af091516-1a11-4db2-9a79-394171bbe98b.jpg?v=1774451622","url":"https:\/\/gicleeart.eu\/en-eu\/collections\/thomas-cole.oembed","provider":"Giclee Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
