View of The United States

This is a beautiful painting of America, the water is raging while everything around it is calm. The child is fishing in the picture and is simply standing on a rock in the middle of the water. They painting fades off in the back and is absolutely amazing. The sun is light and not to bright in the back. This picture really captures America in its early time. Created by Thomas Cole
