Cole was fascinated with the passing of time and cycles of life.ÊTower by MoonlightÊalludes to the poetic push and pull between nature and history. In the foreground of this elegia c scene, young lovers meet under the full moon. Behind them, a sarcophagus and ruined tower, both long overtaken by natural elements, suggest past generations. Here, the past is as much a part of the present moment as this couple, whose lives are also subject to the inevitable passing of time. Gift of David and Laura Grey Show more
