Wish You Were Here

Thomas Cole (1801-1848) The Course of Empire: “The Savage State” (1834) “The Arcadian” (1834) “The Consummation of Empire” (1836) “Destruction” (1836) “Desolation” (1836) Oil on canvas Owned by the New-York Historical Society

The Course of Empire is a five-part series of paintings created by Thomas Cole in the years 1833–36.

The series of paintings depicts the growth and fall of an imaginary city, situated on the lower end of a river valley, near its meeting with a bay of the sea. The valley is distinctly identifiable in each of the paintings, in part because of an unusual landmark: a large boulder is precariously situated atop a crag overlooking the valley.

Already a lot of people have done posts on this topic, but I like it, and therefore I will also do it :)

Well, now I want to start with a rainbow:) Rainbow is always something beautifull and positive. This is one of the symbols of happiness, I think. And colors are an important part of it!
