"Gelyna" or "View near Ticonderoga" is a landscape painting by the renowned American artist Thomas Cole, who is widely regarded as the founder of the Hudson River School of painting. Created in 1826, this artwork is an early example of Cole's exploration of the American wilderness, a theme that would dominate his oeuvre and become a hallmark of the Hudson River School movement.

The painting depicts a serene and idyllic view of the wilderness near Fort Ticonderoga, a site of historical significance due to its role in the American Revolutionary War. Cole's portrayal of the landscape is imbued with a sense of romanticism and reverence for nature, characteristics that are emblematic of his artistic philosophy. The composition features a harmonious interplay of light and shadow, with meticulous attention to the textures and details of the natural elements, from the foliage and rocks to the tranquil waters.

Measuring 26 x 36 inches, "Gelyna" is executed in oil on canvas. The title of the painting, "Gelyna," is a nod to the Welsh word for "fair valley," reflecting Cole's interest in the sublime and picturesque qualities of the American landscape, as well as his inclination towards literary and poetic associations.

"Gelyna" is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical context. It represents an era when American artists began to assert a distinct national identity through their depiction of the American landscape. Cole's work, including "Gelyna," played a pivotal role in shaping the perception of the American wilderness as a symbol of national pride and cultural identity.

The painting is part of the collection of the Fort Ticonderoga Museum in Ticonderoga, New York. As an early work by Thomas Cole, "Gelyna" offers insight into the development of the artist's style and the nascent stages of the Hudson River School, making it an important piece for both art historians and admirers of American art.
