Destruição do Curso do Império
Destruição – from The Course of Empire c1836 by British-American Painter Thomas Cole (1801 – 1848); specializing in historical and landscape paintings that portrayed the American wilderness and is regarded as the founder of the Hudson River School Movement.
This powerful painting depicts a once glorious and powerful empire in its last stages; as war rages on the sea and on the land amongst the grand statues, sculptures and columns of a great city state; with soldiers show no mercy to anyone, killing even women, crianças, the old and the young; and in the background on the right we can see a once great city burning in flames as soldiers set it ablaze.

Então em 1822 Thomas began working as a portrait painter and over time shifted his focus from portraiture to landscape and historical painting.
Thomas is considered to be one of the prominent 19th century American painters and the founder of the Hudson River School movement which was influenced by the Romanticism era of the late 18th century and mid 19th century.
Though Cole was primarily a landscape painter, he also produced allegorical artwork; com o seu mais famoso sendo a série de cinco partes The Course of Empire; que retratam a mesma paisagem ao longo de gerações, de um estado próximo da natureza à consumação do império, e então declínio e desolação.
