This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Course of Empire: The Consummation of the Empire designed from a painting by Thomas Cole depicts the rise of an empire. The scene shown is an imaginary empire at its height with festivities, massive trade, commerce and wealth. People seem to be living in lavish luxury. Monuments have been constructed honoring those who helped create such a standard of living. But in some cases, this continued success does not last, and it must come to an end. This is a very large and detailed pattern, but when it is finished, it will be a masterpiece! Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we only use an abundance of solid colors to produce a more realistic effect.
