About the piece
Painted in 1828, Thomas Cole’s 'The Garden of Eden' is a foundational work of the Hudson River School. The composition uses a natural arch of dense foliage to frame a misty, sun-drenched mountain peak and tranquil waters, perfectly capturing the romantic era's vision of a divine and untouched wilderness.
