Thomas Cole (attribuito a)

Dante and Virgil in Purgatory oil on canvas 156 x 119 cm The canvas depicts a passage from Dante's Divine Comedy, a recurring literary work in the artistic career of Thomas Cole (1801 - 1848), considered the founder of the Hudson River School, an American art movement that flourished in the mid-19th century. The Hudson River School, known to use stylistic features characteristic of Romanticism and Naturalism (as well as in Thomas Cole's works), is also characterized by its realistic and detailed depiction of American landscapes. The style of the work reflects a classical taste traceable to the original Bolton Master. However, the group of works traced back to the artist is often heterogeneous and not always consistent. Not surprisingly then, the canvas has been attributed in the past to John Martin (1789 - 1854), a Romantic painter from whom Thomas Cole drew inspiration. Framed.
