Copy after Thomas Cole's "Dream of Arcadia" Robert Seldon Duncanson (American, 1821-1872). Copy after Thomas Cole's "Dream of Arcadia," 1852. Oil on canvas, frame: 34 1/8 x 52 x 4 in. (86.7 x 132.1 x 10.2 cm).  The African American painter Robert S. Duncanson was a leading practitioner of the Hudson River School of landscape painting. Dream of Arcadia is based on an 1838 painting by the schools “founding father,” Thomas Cole. It typifies the style in its naturalistic details and romanticized vision of nature as symbolic of Americas national destiny. Its subject—the classical paradise of Arcadia—perhaps reflects hopes for a world free of the prejudice and strife of pre-Civil War America. Duncanson settled in the Cincinnati area in about 1841. Cincinnati was then a hotbed of abolitionist activity, and home to a large population of free African Americans. American Art 1852

Cain Slaying Abel Pier Francesco Mola Italian ca. 1650-52 This vigorous composition depicts the first murder in human history according to the Bible: a fratricide motivated by jealousy between the sons of Adam and Eve. Seventeenth-century collectors and artists were fascinated by such moral dramas culminating in violent action. Molas landscape reinforces the subjects inherent intensity through smoke and light from the nearby fire that rises along the tree trunk and foliage before merging into the branches and sky. It embodies Molas moody, even romantic, interpretation of Roman classicism. View more. Cain Slaying Abel. Pier Francesco Mola (Italian, Coldrerio 1612-1666 Rome). ca. 1650-52. Oil on canvas.

The Belated Party on Mansfield Mountain. Artist: Jerome B. Thompson (1814-1886). Dimensions: 38 x 63 1/8 in. (96.5 x 160.3 cm). Date: 1858.Thompson earned a reputation for combining the breadth of Hudson River School landscape painting with the anecdotal appeal of contemporary genre painting. This work is one of several in which he used Mount Mansfield, Vermont's highest peak, as a foil for domestic recreation. As half the party of day trippers admire the summit and the vista toward Lake Champlain, another young man holds his watch aloft, warning of the lateness of the hour and the need to descend. But, as people their age are wont to do, the three youths watching the sunset ignore him, enraptured by the beauty of nature. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
