"Voyage of Life: Youth" is the second painting in the four-part series "The Voyage of Life" created by acclaimed American landscape artist Thomas Cole. Painted in 1842, this allegorical artwork prominently features the Romanticism style that Cole was well-known for. Like the rest the series, "Youth" explores the stages of human life as seen through a metaphorical journey down a river.

"The Voyage of Life: Youth" portrays a young man embarking on a journey full of hope and ambition. In the scene, the man - now on his own - joyfully steers his boat towards the celestial castle seen in the sky, symbolizing his dreams and lofty goals. His guardian angel, who guided him in childhood (the theme of the first painting), now watches from a distance, representing the relative independence experienced during youth.

Cole carefully incorporates nature in the form of a peaceful river winding through a lush landscape, suggesting the optimism and opportunities inherent in youth. However, the underlying presence of rough waters and rocky crags looming in the distance convey the idea that the journey of life may not always be smooth, hinting at the trials and tribulations that the young man might confront.

The "Youth" stage of "The Voyage of Life" series is significant as it reflects the conflict between ambition and reality, optimism, and impending hardship. Cole's vibrant landscape artistry, combined with rich symbolic elements and profound thematics, has confirmed its standing as a vital piece in the collection of 19th-century American art.
