About the piece
Painted in 1841 by Thomas Cole, the founder of the Hudson River School, this work captures the dramatic scenery of Vaucluse in France. The composition masterfully balances the raw power of the vertical limestone cliffs and the rushing river with the weathered stone of a medieval fortress, all bathed in the warm, atmospheric light characteristic of the nineteenth-century Romantic tradition.
