## About This Content
This is the second puzzle box in the puzzle collection based on our favorite
classical painter Thomas Cole* and his wonderful series The Voyage of Life.
The second painting, Youth, shows the same rich, green landscape, but here the
view widens as does the voyager’s experience. Now the youth grabs the tiller
firmly as the angel watches and waves from the shore, allowing him to take
control. The boy’s enthusiasm and energy are evident in his forward-thrusting
pose and billowing clothes. In the distance, a ghostly castle hovers in the
sky, a white and shimmering beacon that represents the ambitions and dreams of
man. To the youth, the calm river seems to lead straight to the castle, but at
the far right of the painting one can just glimpse the river as it becomes
rough, choppy, and full of rocks. Cole comments on the landscape and the
youth’s ambitions: “The scenery of the picture – its clear stream, its lofty
trees, its towering mountains, its unbounded distance, and transparent
atmosphere – figure forth the romantic beauty of youthful imaginings, when the
mind elevates the Mean and Common into the Magnificent, before experience
teaches what is the Real.”
## Content Details
Contains _one_ new puzzle box for Masters of Puzzle. The UHD image captures
the original painting in great detail which in turn allows for very detailed
and diverse puzzle tiles. There are a few distinct sections in the image that
can be identified relatively easily, but there are also several very similar
ones in the greenery and the sky. This will make the puzzle slightly more
challenging to assemble, especially for the more inexperienced puzzle
builders.
