George Inness in Italy

June 10, 2011 - September 18, 2011

George Inness was an American nineteeth-century landscape painter born in Nerburgh, NY, whose work was inspired by old masters including 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. Inness made two trips to Italy, the first from 1851-52 and the second from 1870-74, where he developed the tonal style of landscape for which he is most renowned. Included in the exhibition is the Timken’s L’Ariccia (read more about L'Ariccia).
