Description:
Beginning in the late 1870s Inness turned to the thoughtful, personal, non-topographic landscapes that are the trademark of his late style. In many respects these landscapes were the result of his religious beliefs. Although still derived from the Barbizon painting he encountered in France, Inness’s late work is an effort to convert Swedenborgianism into art.
