Another painter called Thomas Cole painted a view of Connecticut River close by Massachusetts titled the Oxbow. “The Oxbow” displays his art in two unequal halves. One side of the painting shows beauty in the sky and water nourishing the land. The painting shows hills, curing river while the sun shines create a peaceful view. the other side has shattered tree and gloomy stormy clouds. The American Landscape painting were well known for capturing the innocent beauty of nature. The painters wanted to show the moral power of the American continent and the magnitude of untamed wilderness. Some painting shows mountain, broad lakes and streams, green forest.
