About the piece
Painted in 1871, George Inness's 'Approaching Storm from the Alban Hills' exemplifies the Tonalist movement with its emphasis on mood and light. The composition masterfully balances a heavy, turbulent sky against a softly lit valley, creating a sense of natural grandeur and quiet drama that serves as a sophisticated focal point for any room.
