About This Design

The Course of Empire: Destruction Poster

The Course of Empire: Destruction Poster

This is a reproduction of the fourth of Thomas Cole's five part series, “The Course of Empire". This fourth painting, "Destruction" depicts a landscape in which capital of empire is being destroyed. Raiders have apparently entered the city from an invasion fleet. They are ravaging the inhabitants of the city and have destroyed the major river bridge. There is a headless statue in the foreground and, of course, the boulder-topped mountain is still visible from the earlier paintings. The sea raiders may have been inspired by the Vandal sack of Rome in 455. The original canvas is 63.5 inches wide and 39.5 inches high and is in the New York Historical Society.

I like the design features on the website. They enable the fitting of a good quality Print to an existing frame. This Print was of excellent quality. I would buy again. One small gripe is that the image was not centred horizontally (about 3mm out) so needed trimming. No great hardship and may have been my fault in the setting-up. Next time, I would choose to set the text below the picture to a smaller font. Overall - Thank You! Looks good in its frame - Just as expected. I had a very expensive Gallery print of this before. It got damaged - hence the replacement. It compares very well.
