Cole's clients were mainly from the rich Federalist "aristocracy," whose members, offended by Jacksonian populism, wanted pastoral images of a pure American scene unsullied by the marks of getting and spending.

Backing social causes, on the other hand, moves corporations onto a moral plain. You may not like profit-minded ceos deciding which charities get all the loot. But in an era of shrinking government responsibility for the welfare of its citizens, somebody has to pick...
