The Architect's Dream
1840 Oil on canvas, 136 x 214 cm Museum of Art, Toledo, Ohio Cole called Turner the prince of evil spirits, and he sought a form of expression for his megalomanic visions that at first sight looks more peaceful. In this painting the excessive size of the capital, on which the architect has reclined in reflection, only becomes clear on closer inspection. However, the reversal of the real conditions is intrinsically threatening, and this is hardly more peaceful than Turner's chaos. Artist: COLE, Thomas Title: The Architect's Dream , painting Date: 1801-1850 American : other
