About the piece
Commissioned in 1856 by George Inness for the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, this masterpiece is a quintessential example of mid-19th-century American landscape painting. It captures the transition from wilderness to industrialization with a soft, atmospheric light and a sophisticated sense of space that balances the sprawling valley with the emerging mechanical presence of the train.
