This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Course of Empire, Destruction designed from a painting by Thomas Cole depicts the fall of a mighty flourishing empire. The scene shows massive chaos and destruction of all that was once a great empire virtually destroyed. Citizens are at war with each other and the wealth that once was dissipated into nothing but poverty. This is a very large and detailed pattern, but when it is finished, it will be a masterpiece! You can stitch its counterpart, The Course of Empire, The Consummation of the Empire RE-321 to show the contrast. 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.
