About the piece
Painted in 1827 by Thomas Cole, the founder of the Hudson River School, this work illustrates a scene from James Fenimore Cooper’s 'The Last of the Mohicans'. The composition emphasizes the sublime power of the wilderness, with small figures clustered on a sunlit cliff edge surrounded by towering, mist-shrouded peaks and dense autumnal forests.
