The Course of Empire: The Consummation of Empire Thomas Cole 1 Lut 1801 - 11 Lut 1848
Here 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. Every 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. The 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. The 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.
