“Yet the sweet converse of an innocent mind,/Whose words are images of thought refin’d,/Is my soul's pleasure; and it sure must be/Almost the highest bliss of human-kind,/When to thy haunts two kindred spirits flee.” John Keats, Sonnet to Solitude - Wikipedia

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.

I kinda fell all over myself over this painting this morning. Scene for Thanatopsis by Asher Brown Durand. So then I had to read the poem from William Cullen Bryant, and this was my favorite excerpt:

The quiet August noon has come; A slumberous silence fills the sky; The winds are still, the trees are dumb, In glassy sleep the waters lie.” ― William Cullen Bryant

The quiet August noon has come; A slumberous silence fills the sky; The winds are still, the trees are dumb, In glassy sleep the waters lie.
