Thomas Cole prepared detailed explanatory texts for each painting in this four-part series. The following are Cole's own words about this painting, Youth:
"A stream is seen issuing from a deep cavern, in the side of a craggy and precipitous mountain, whose summit is hidden in clouds. From out the cave glides a Boat, whose golden prow and sides are sculptured into figures of the Hours: steered by an Angelic Form, and laden with buds and flowers, it bears a laughing Infant, the Voyager whose varied course the artist has attempted to delineate. On either hand the banks of the stream are clothed in luxuriant herbage and flowers. The rising sun bathes the mountains and the flowery banks in rosy light. This image depicts the flush of youthful overconfidence. In youth there is no despairing thought."
A faithful addition to any space, and the second in this stirring series of four deeply symbolic works that form a treatise on the spiritual life, it makes a meaningful devotional gift and handsome holy art for home. Choose size.
