| has gloss | eng: For other uses see Kindred Spirits (disambiguation) Kindred Spirits (1849) is perhaps the best known painting of Hudson River School painter Asher Durand. It depicts the recently deceased painter Thomas Cole and his friend the poet William Cullen Bryant in the Catskill Mountains. The landscape, which combines geographical features like Fawns Leap in Kaaterksill Clove and a minuscule depiction of Kaaterskill Falls, is not a literal record of a particular site but an idealized memory of Thomas Coles discovery of the region more than twenty years prior to the canvass execution. |
