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.

We glimpse the harrowing drama unfolding in this painting, as if we are crouching by the roots of the tropical foliage and peering through a space between the leaves. Our focus is on the anonymous silhouettes of men and women, their shackles more prominent than their features.

When his friend Marcotte first suggested that Ingres paint Ines Moitessier, the wife of a financier and jurist, he demurred. Ingres changed his mind after being struck by her „terrible et belle tête“ (terrible and beautiful head.) The author Théophile Gautier described her as „Junolike,“ and Ingres presents her with the imposing remoteness of a Roman goddess.
