Thomas Cole, 1801-1848: One Hundred Years Later is a book written by C.C. Cunningham that explores the life and work of the American artist Thomas Cole. Cole was a prominent figure in the Hudson River School, a group of artists who painted landscapes inspired by the natural beauty of the Hudson River Valley.

The book also includes a detailed analysis of Cole's most famous works, such as The Oxbow and The Course of Empire, as well as lesser-known pieces.

In addition to examining Cole's art, the book also explores his personal life, including his relationships with his family, friends, and patrons. Cunningham draws on a range of sources, including letters and diaries, to provide a nuanced portrait of this complex and influential artist. Overall, Thomas Cole, 1801-1848: One Hundred Years Later is a comprehensive and engaging study of one of America's most important artists.
