ThomasĬole, born in England, emigrated to the United States in 1818, and firstĪbsorbed the picturesque and sublime through print media. Cole Reached global audiences through the circulation of engravings. Turner and JohnĬonstable raised landscape painting to new heights and their work Visual delight, and the sublime, an aesthetic category rooted in notions Landscape art in the early 19th century was guided by two rivalĬoncepts: the picturesque, which emphasized touristic pleasures and Romanticism has some of its roots in the Picturesque.To celebrate the 200th anniversary of Cole’s arrival from England in 1818, the Thomas Cole Site is partnering with the Yale Center for British Art to present the special exhibition Picturesque and Sublime: Thomas Cole’s Trans-Atlantic Inheritance in Thomas Cole’s New Studio, in Catskill, NY. The Picturesque Tour in search of suitable subjects was a feature of English landscape painting of the period, exemplified, for example, in the work of Girtin and (early in his career) of Turner, and the Picturesque generated a large literary output much of it was pedantic and obsessive and it became a popular subject for satire. Natural scenery tended to be judged in terms of how closely it approximated to the paintings of favoured artists such as Gaspard Dughet, and in 1801 George Mason's Supplement to Samuel Johnson's English Dictionary defined Picturesque as: ‘what pleases the eye remarkable for singularity striking the imagination with the force of painting to be expressed in painting affording a good subject for a landscape proper to take a landscape from’. Picturesque scenes were thus neither serene (like the Beautiful) nor awe-inspiring (like the Sublime), but full of variety, curious details, and interesting textures-medieval ruins were quintessentially Picturesque. Devotees of the Picturesque found pleasure in roughness and irregularity, and they tried to establish it as a critical category between the ‘Beautiful’ and the ‘Sublime’. As conceived by the Romantics, visual aesthetics comprise three categories: the picturesque, the sublime, and the beautiful (Trott 1999). Term covering a set of aesthetic ideas about landscape, both real and painted, that flourished in Britain in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
