"The Voyage of Life" by Thomas Cole...


I was first introduced to the series of paintings by Thomas Cole by my cousin Paul Kovalski what must have been 25 to 30 years ago at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC..

I continue to make it a point to visit this series of paintings when in the gallery and each time I see something different in the paintings. If you are ever in the gallery get one of the handheld audio tour units in the main rotunda and be sure to visit this series.

Below is a video of this series that will describe "The voyage of life". The detail in the actual paintings is much better and well worth the visit...
