Student PPT Comparisons & Discussion Examples: Student Research Paper Samples... Expulsion from the Garden of Eden  (1828) – Thomas Cole Thomas Cole was born in Bolton, Lancashire in Northwestern England 1801. Cole’s family emigrated to the United States in 1818 where Cole would begin his painting journey. Not only is a primarily self-taught artist, he also worked as an itinerant portrait artist with members of the Philadelphia Academy. In 1825 was when Cole’s real career began. Thomas Cole has a love for nature and all its pieces as a whole, so he established his first rural studio at Cedar Grove within the Catskill mountains.

Shortly after, Cole returned to his homeland of Britain for further studies and traveling around Europe. Wh
