About the piece
Painted in 1878 by George Inness, this masterpiece captures the atmospheric tension between a departing storm and returning light. The dark, brooding clouds provide a striking contrast to the sunlit meadow and grazing cattle, embodying the spiritual and emotional connection to nature central to the Tonalist movement.
