Sunset, View on the Catskill is an 1833 oil-on-wood painting by English-born American painter Thomas Cole.
[1][2] The work is in oval format and depicts a view of North Mountain from Catskill Creek.
[2] Tom Christopher wrote that "[Thomas] Cole’s greatest artistic asset proved to be his untutored eye.
[4] As a child, his surroundings were of Lancashire, England, an area known to be an epicenter of Britain’s primarily industrial region.
After a trip through Europe, Cole was inspired by 16th-century painter Claude Lorrain.
