More about this artwork

The painting "The After Glow, Italy" by George Inness, painted around 1873, captures a moment of sublime beauty and tranquility in the Italian landscape. This work is a masterful example of Inness's ability to convey mood and emotion through his use of color and light.In the painting, a vast, serene sky dominates the canvas, rendered in deep blues and grays that subtly transition towards a luminous band of golden yellow and warm orange hues. This intense, glowing horizon suggests the fleeting moments just after sunset, where light lingers in the sky, casting a spell of quiet stillness over the land.The landscape features a large body of water that reflects the sky's twilight colors, enhancing the overall sense of calm and solitude. A solitary tower or ruin stands prominently on the right, its silhouette almost etched against the glowing sky, serving as a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the enduring presence of history in the Italian landscape.George Inness’s use of a subdued palette and the soft, almost indistinct outlines creates a dreamlike quality, inviting viewers to reflect on the peace and fleeting beauty of the natural world.

George Inness (May 1, 1825 – August 3, 1894) was a prominent American landscape painter.

Now recognized as one of the most influential American artists of the nineteenth century, Inness was influenced by the Hudson River School at the start of his career. He also studied the Old Masters, and artists of the Barbizon school during later trips to Europe. There he was introduced to the theology of Emanuel Swedenborg, which was significant for him; he expressed that spiritualism in the works of his maturity (1879–1894).
