View of Florence, 1837. Creator: Thomas Cole (American, 1801-1848)
View of Florence, 1837. Cole visited Italy in 1831 and made a small pencil sketch of this vista of Florence shortly before sunset. In his New York studio six years later, he transformed the drawing into this large oil painting, adding picturesque humans and goats to the foreground. Exhibiting View of Florence alongside a painting of the Catskill Mountains in New York in 1837, Cole set out to prove that he had mastered the very different landscapes of the Old and New Worlds

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "View of Florence, 1837" a masterpiece created by the talented American artist Thomas Cole. During his visit to Italy in 1831, Cole was captivated by the beauty of Florence and sketched this breathtaking vista shortly before sunset. Years later, in his New York studio, he transformed the delicate pencil sketch into a magnificent oil painting. In an effort to showcase his versatility as an artist, Cole exhibited "View of Florence" alongside another painting depicting the Catskill Mountains in New York in 1837. This bold move aimed to prove that he had mastered both the Old World and New World landscapes with equal finesse. The painting itself is a testament to Cole's skillful brushwork and attention to detail. The foreground features picturesque humans and goats, adding depth and liveliness to the scene. As you gaze at this artwork, you can almost feel yourself transported back in time to witness the stunning view that inspired Cole all those years ago. Preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art, this piece represents not only a significant part of American heritage art but also serves as a reminder of Thomas Cole's remarkable talent for capturing nature's grandeur on canvas.
