From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Inness George Inness (May 1, 1825 – August 3, 1894) was an influential Americanlandscape painter. His work was influenced, in turn, by that of the old masters, the Hudson River school, the Barbizon school, and, finally, by the theology of Emanuel Swedenborg, whose spiritualism found vivid expression in the work of Inness' maturity. Often called "the father of American landscape painting,"[1][2][3] Inness is best known for these mature works that not only exemplified the Tonalist movement but also displayed an original and uniquely American style. [PH- These works are from Inness' later years in which his work became more tonal and unified, with less detail. It is my view that his later works are superior.]
