Painting Description
"Expulsion - Moon and Firelight" is a notable painting by the British-born American artist Thomas Cole, who is widely recognized as the founder of the Hudson River School of American landscape painters. Created in 1828, this artwork is an early example of Cole's exploration of natural landscapes as a medium for moral and historical narratives.
The painting depicts a dramatic and emotional scene inspired by the biblical account of Adam and Eve's expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Cole's interpretation of this moment is infused with a sense of loss and foreboding, as the figures of Adam and Eve are barely discernible within the darkened landscape, illuminated only by the contrasting light sources of the moon and the firelight, which symbolize the duality of hope and destruction.
Measuring 36 1/4 x 48 1/4 inches (92.1 x 122.6 cm), the oil on canvas work is a testament to Cole's mastery of light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey profound emotion through the depiction of the natural world. The painting's composition, with its attention to the sublime aspects of nature, reflects Cole's Romantic sensibilities and his belief in the spiritual power of the American wilderness.
"Expulsion - Moon and Firelight" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its place within the broader context of 19th-century American art. It exemplifies the themes of the Hudson River School, which celebrated the beauty of the American landscape while also often imbuing it with moral or religious significance. The painting is held in the collection of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical importance and its evocative portrayal of one of humanity's foundational narratives.
