One of the paintings shown is Asher B. Durand’s “Kindred Spirit” showing his friends, artist Thomas Cole and poet William Cullen Bryant.
The painting is at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, AR. Sam Walton’s daughter, Alice, built the museum to house her art collection. It’s a great museum and free.

Yes. I was at the Metropltian Museum here in New York City a few weeks ago and the plaque on the wall next to it said the painting was in tribute to Thomas Cole who had then just recently died.
