Thomas Kinkade loved America. From its many beauties to its great freedoms, Thom regularly sought to capture the spirit and heart of our great country on canvas. Nowhere is that seen more clearly than in this painting from the Thomas Kinkade Studios, celebrating the symbol of freedom and democracy, the Statue of Liberty.
Given to America in 1886 as a gift of friendship from the people of France, the statue greeted arriving immigrants with hopes of a new life in this land of opportunity. Sculpted in copper, the statue's original color has oxidized over decades into the green tones that we know today.
In Dedicated to Liberty, the Thomas Kinkade Studios artists capture those early years of the statue, and the power and majesty behind this great symbol of freedom.
