The picture of the Statue of Liberty from “Planet of the Apes” seems suitable here.

Albert Bierstadt was my favorite of the Hudson River School of landscape painting. The first 3 below are his. The last one, Frederic Church, another of the very best.

thank you for posting this most interesting video on Thomas Cole. Enjoyed it very much. The painting are exquisite. In the fireplace mural sketches, along with the unfinished sun positions above the finished work; there are two side panels on the fireplace. Would be interesting to know if he had any thoughts on something for this space too. Thank you again for posting.
