Biography:
George Inness was an American landscape painter who learned his trade from experimentation and travel to Europe. He began working in New York but moved to a suburban Boston town in 1859. The Barbizon School and the Romantic movement influenced him and he was eventually associated with the Hudson River School. His later style moved away from this and he began painting intimate subjects in a more uninhibited fashion. Inness’s work also reflected his deep spirituality and had a Symbolist feel. He is considered to be the greatest 19th century landscape painter.
