Thomas Cole (1801–1848) was a British-born American artist and the founder of the Hudson River School art movement. Cole is widely regarded as the first significant American landscape painter.

They are usually escapist, framing the New World as a natural eden contrasting with the smog-filled cityscapes of Industrial Revolution-era Britain, in which he grew up. His works, often seen as conservative, criticize the contemporary trends of industrialism, urbanism, and westward expansion.

List of Murals by Luc Tuymans is a list of mural paintings and other murals by the Belgian artist Luc Tuymans.
