Cole’s renowned four-part series traces the journey of an archetypal hero along the „River of Life.“ Confidently assuming control of his destiny and oblivious to the dangers that await him, the voyager boldly strives to reach an aerial castle, emblematic of the daydreams of „Youth“ and its aspirations for glory and fame. As the traveler approaches his goal, the ever-more-turbulent stream deviates from its course and relentlessly carries him toward the next picture in the series, where nature’s fury, evil demons, and self-doubt will threaten his very existence.

Jan Steen’s paintings encompass a wide range of moods and subjects, from intimate scenes of a family saying grace before a meal to festive village celebrations, yet all of his paintings elicit a warm reaction to the lives of ordinary people. All five senses are represented in this work in which two young musicians play for a dancing couple while other people in the vine-covered arbor flirt, eat, drink, or smoke, and children amuse themselves with their toys.

Unlike some of his contemporaries, John Frederick Kensett felt no need to travel to the tropics or the American West to find compelling subjects to paint. Instead, he continually revisited several familiar locales in New York and New England where he could explore the ways in which the same motif was altered by subtle differences in light and atmosphere.
