About the piece

Painted in 1887 by George Inness, this work is a quintessential example of American Tonalism. The composition focuses on the interplay of light and shadow across a verdant field, where tall trees anchored in the middle ground reach toward a dramatic, cloud-filled sky. Inness uses a soft, diffused palette to evoke a sense of spiritual peace and nostalgia for the changing seasons.
