"The Consummation of Empire" is the third painting in Thomas Cole's five-part series "The Course of Empire," which vividly portrays the rise and fall of a fictional civilization. Created between 1833 and 1836, this series reflects Cole's musings on the cyclical nature of history, particularly the growth, zenith, and eventual decay of empires. "The Consummation of Empire" showcases the peak of the civilization's grandeur, depicted through a bustling cityscape brimming with classical architecture, a testament to the society's wealth and power. The scene is set against a backdrop of a serene river valley, a recurring setting throughout the series, symbolizing the constant presence of nature amidst human endeavors. Cole's work is often interpreted as a commentary on the American society of his time, which was grappling with rapid expansion and industrialization. The painting serves as both a celebration of progress and a cautionary tale about the potential consequences of unchecked growth. This masterpiece, along with the rest of the series, resides at the New-York Historical Society, a gift from the New-York Gallery of Fine Arts. Cole's influence on American art is profound, as he is considered a central figure in the Hudson River School of painting, known for its romantic portrayal of the American landscape. His work transcends mere landscape painting, embedding deep historical, social, and political narratives within the canvas. "The Consummation of Empire" and its companion pieces remain relevant today, reminding viewers of the delicate balance between civilization and nature, progress and preservation.

Love this product I get it all the time, but since I live overseas, I have to get a ship. I don’t know what happened, but when I got out the box, I haven’t even opened the plastic and this is what I see from it

Still the very best
this product is so good that it is enough to take the 'wrinkles' out of any alligator. During my times spent in Africa(23 years) this product helped sustain and maintain the texture and the quality of my skin. I will deeply recommend this product ANY DAY, ANY TIME, AND ANYWHERE.

Great Lotion, ridiculous price. Get it cheaper somewhere else.
The lotion is amazing! Been using it since I was a little girl back in Ivory Coast, the country it originates from!!! The only thing I have an issue with somehow is the price. $13 is just too damn expensive when you can get it cheaper at house of beauty world. (Website) But then again, mine comes directly from Ivory Coast when I have family that happens to be traveling back home.
