Painting at the End of the Ice Age features landscape paintings by Cordova-based artist David Rosenthal. Rosenthal’s work documents retreating glacial ice and dramatic post-glacial landscapes observed during his 45-year painting career, a period coinciding with the final years of our current geologic Ice Age. Works are paired with text-based reflections from the artist as well as geologists, oceanographers, biologists, and self-taught naturalists.
