George Inness, from Newburgh, NY, is considered one of the most important American landscape painters of the latter half of the nineteenth century. After periods in Rome and Paris, he adopted the loose brushwork and dark, moody palette characteristic of the Barbizon School. Inness subsequently came under the influence of the Swedish mystical theologian Emanuel Swedenborg, and his later landscapes represent an attempt to penetrate the inner essence of the scenes he chose. This panel was painted while Inness was living and working in Montclair, NJ; like many of his last works, it evokes a striking contrast between the sky and the world below, with sweeping handling of color that borders on abstraction.
