One work in this series shows a boy in blue drawing on a stone and a man drawing symbols with a stick, while another work shows a soldier grabbing the red cape of woman. The idea for this series supposedly came while its artist was occupying Claude Lorrain's old studio in Rome and it was commissioned by Luman Reed. Another painting in it shows two golden statues draped with a pink cloth as well as an elaborate black (*) fountain. That work also shows a parade of people and several ships docking near a temple. The first work in this series shows people hunting with bows and arrows, while the last work shows a broken column among ruins and is entitled Desolation. A headless statue stands above the destruction of a city in the best known entry in this series, which shows a city from its birth to its demise. For 10 points, name this series of five paintings by Thomas Cole.
