Masterpieces TV — Silent Art Gallery · July 7 Night | The Course of Empire Destructio… & others

🖼 Classical Masters Gallery. One painting every 10 minutes, 8 hours of iconic masterpieces. New works added daily. ✨ The Course of Empire Destruction Thomas Cole The Course of Empire: Destruction by Thomas Cole, 1836. Fourth painting in a five part series. The empire burning here is not Rome. Not Greece. Cole invented it. He borrowed from all of them on purpose so you could see every empire in it. Yours included. That was the whole point. He painted this when America was barely 60 years old, already asking the question nobody wanted to hear. #OldMasters #ClassicArt #FineArt #ArtGallery #Sil
