The artwork titled “Indian Pass Tahawus” is an oil painting on canvas created in 1847 by the renowned artist Thomas Cole. This piece belongs to the Romanticism movement and is classified under the landscape genre. It is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a majestic and pristine natural scene dominated by a towering mountain in the background, shrouded in mist and lush foliage. The foreground features a serene river meandering through a dense forest, with a Native American figure seated by the riverbank, adding a contemplative human element to the vast and untamed wilderness. The intricate detailing and vibrant use of color epitomize the Romanticism movement’s emphasis on the sublime beauty and tranquility of nature.
