Well, we’ve reached the last one. Val’s favorite was the third one (Manhood), but this is mine. I get chills when I look at it. Oh, and Alexandra? The angels have reentered the building! 
It’s called “Old Age”.
I seriously urge you to go the the link and enlarge, enlarge, enlarge until you can see the cloud. It’s FILLED with angels and quite amazing! Actually, the entire picture is much better at the link…
Thomas Cole’s own words:
The wings of Time are heavier & heavier laden as he flies; each hour brings its own trouble without dissipating that of the past. This reconciles us to death; when the soul is fatigued rest is welcome. ‘O that I had the wings of a dove, then would fly away & be at rest.’ Although pain & trouble may accumulate as we pass through life hope like a star lights our path & as the darkness deepens increases in brightness for as through reason of the darkness we perceive not the earth around us but look towards eternity which we trust contains brightness & glory & joy inconceivable. 1
