About the piece
Painted in 1893 by George Inness, this work is a quintessential example of late 19th-century American Tonalism. Rather than a literal recording of the landmark, Inness emphasizes the atmospheric effects of the spray and light, resulting in a moody, contemplative landscape that balances natural wonder with the subtle encroachment of industrial civilization.
