| Schroon Mountain (Oil, 1838) |
| Compared
to many of Cole's wilderness paintings, there's greater openness of
landforms in this painting, and combined with the use of warm colors, it
creates a lighter, friendlier mode. The foreground trees
aren't as twisted and gnarled as in much of his work. Too, Schroon
Mountain doesn't loom darkly but rather glows in the reflected red of muted sun
and fall leaves. |
