KINDRED SPIRITS (1849) by ASHER DURAND
KINDRED SPIRITS by ASHER BROWN DURAND is a significant AMERICAN landscape painting that depicts THOMAS COLE, another prominent artist of the period and WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT, the poet.
This painting was commissioned after COLE'S death as a memorial to COLE, who was widely regarded as one of the most influential AMERICAN landscape painters of the nineteenth century. This painting is included in a monograph exhibition about DURAND’S career that features 57 of AMERICA'S most iconic 19th century landscape paintings.
DURAND was part of a group of painters known as the “HUDSON RIVER SCHOOL”, who concentrated on landscape painting and were renowned for their meticulous attention to detail in their work. DURAND’s KINDRED SPIRITS is one of the finest examples of this style, drawing attention to geological formations, plant life and other life-giving elements in his depictions of mountain ranges.
The gift from DURAND to BRYANT symbolizes the friendship of two intellectuals and has since become an important piece of American art history. THE CATSKILL MOUNTAINS are portrayed with intricate detail combined with vivid colors offering an immersive experience for viewers looking at this remarkable piece.

Thomas and Metias, based on the painting Ivan the Terrible and His Son by Ilya Repin.
Took some artistic liberties with this scene (don’t think it was raining yet when Metias was killed and Thomas did not take the knife out of his chest), but I think the result makes it a bit more dramatic. I also tried to make it look as if Thomas had panicked and tried to pull open his jacket to staunch the bleeding, and drew the the bloodstains on Thomas’s left hand wound around his ring finger, like a macabre wedding ring.

When the eye is suffused with regretful tears,
From the fond recollections of former years;
And shadows of things that have long since fled
Flit over the brain, like the ghosts of the dead, —
Bright visions of glory that vanished too soon;
Afar in the Desert by Thomas Pringle, from The Family Library of Poetry and Song edited by William Cullen Bryant, 1886
