Study these paintings as a group and compare the skies, weather, river, and surrounding landscapes. Consider how the forces of nature change from scene to scene, creating a different mood in each one. Which stage of life do you think the artist felt was the most exciting? On view in the West Building, Main Floor, Gallery 60. <a href="http://www.nga.gov/fcgi-bin/tinfo_f?object=52450&amp;detail=none" title="http://www.nga.gov/fcgi-bin/tinfo_f?object=52450&amp;detail=none" rel="nofollow">http://www.nga.gov/fcgi-bin/tinfo_f?object=52450&amp;detail=none</a></p> <p><a href="http://artbabble.org/video/ngadc/voyage-life-1842-thomas-cole" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://artbabble.org/video/ngadc/voyage-life-1842-thomas-cole#comments Allegorical Painting American Painting Hudson River School Nature Painting Thomas Cole Learning to Look National Gallery of Art, Washington http://artbabble.org/sites/default/files/bvideos/c3/c31f42090fdb04e9/poster-image-09.jpg c31f42090fdb04e9 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 17:38:07 +0000 s-sarraf 8843 at http://artbabble.org
