About the piece

Painted in 1887, this masterful work by George Inness is a prime example of American Tonalism. The composition focuses on the emotional and spiritual quality of light as it breaks through the morning mist, casting a warm, amber glow across the forest floor and creating deep, mysterious silhouettes among the ancient trees.
