"A Lyrical Tribute to the Natural World”: Thomas Cole’s “Portage Falls on the Genesee,”

Join us on Facebook as we go live with Dennis Carr, the Virginia Steele Scott Chief Curator of American Art at The Huntington Library as he leads a virtual tour of the gallery where Thomas Cole’s “Portage Falls on the Genesee” is now on permanent display. This part of a continuous programming partnership between the SHM and The Huntington will trace this history of the painting, explore its Seward connections, and contextualize the ways that the artist offered it as a criticism of industrialization.
