The Course of Empire: The Arcadian or Pastoral State Thomas Cole 1 Lut 1801 - 11 Lut 1848
After the harsh dawn of primeval wilderness comes the hour of a gentle, golden morning. 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. Cole 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. The 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. The 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.
