Do you want to witness the dramatic downfall of a mighty empire? If so, you will be amazed by this canvas print of his masterpiece, “Destruction”.

This painting is the fourth in a series of five, titled “The Course of Empire”, that depicts the same landscape at different stages of civilization. In this scene, Cole shows the brutal sack of Rome by the barbarians. You can see the fiery chaos, the savage violence, and the colossal statue of the conqueror, looming over the doomed city. But you can also admire the exquisite details, the vivid colors, and the dramatic contrast of light and dark.

This canvas print is a faithful reproduction of the original painting, which is currently in the collection of the New York Historical Society. It will look stunning on your wall, and will inspire you to reflect on the fate of empires.
