Background Information The artwork: Distant View of Niagara Falls, 1830 The artist: Thomas Cole (American, 1801–1848) The topic: Living near Oceans and Rivers Relevant Information • Thomas Cole was born in England but immigrated to America in 1819, when he was 18 years old. • He visited Niagara Falls for the first time in 1829. He said, “I anticipated much—but the grandeur of the falls far exceeds anything I had been told of them.” • For Cole, Niagara Falls became a means for communicating a reverence for pristine, or pure, nature, untouched by man. Niagara represented the grandeur and the sacred in the American landscape. • Yet, this painting presents a nostalgic view of a once pristine natural treasure—Niagara Falls was already developed as a tourist destination in 1830. Factories, scenic overlooks, hotels, and tourists characterized the surrounding area. • The red autumn trees depicted are sugar maples, a tree that can be found throughout New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and the mid-Atlantic States. In the painting, they suggest the symbolic autumn, or fall, of both the untouched wilderness and the American Indian in the Eastern region of the United States. • The oncoming storm in the sky brings a threatening tone to an otherwise serene landscape. Like the autumn leaves, the dark clouds suggest the coming winter as a symbolic decline, or end. Art Institute of Chicago • 29
