Details

George Inness’s The Storm was a commission of George I. Seney, a wealthy financier who was a faithful supporter of Inness’s work. Inness painted the work in 1885, the year he made Montclair, New Jersey his permanent residence, and presumably the rural areas near his home served as the inspiration for this scene. Typical of the artist in his later years, Inness eschews the bird’s eye perspective of his early work—here, the viewer is brought down to earth for a more intimate encounter with nature. The painting depicts a landscape in the midst of an approaching storm. The sky roils with dark grey clouds, parting just long enough for the sun to illuminate the withered branches of a sapling tree in the middle ground. A structure in the background has also been illuminated by the momentary burst of the sun’s rays. The brilliant emerald greens and mellow golds reveal Inness’s talents as a colorist. In the distance, a dark figure passes beneath a tree. His shadowy form lends the painting a mysterious and enigmatic quality.

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

Although Inness’s style evolved through distinct stages over a prolific career that spanned more than forty years and 1,000 paintings, his works consistently earned acclaim for their powerful, coordinated efforts to elicit depth of mood, atmosphere, and emotion. Neither pure realist nor impressionist, Inness was a transitional figure who intended for his works to combine both the earthly and the ethereal in order to capture the complete essence of a locale. A master of light, color, and shadow, he became noted for creating highly ordered and complex scenes that often juxtaposed hazy or blurred elements with sharp and refined details to evoke an interweaving of both the physical and the spiritual nature of experience. In Inness’s words, he attempted through his art to demonstrate the "reality of the unseen” and to connect the "visible upon the invisible."

Within his own lifetime, art critics hailed Inness as one of America's greatest artists. Often called "the father of American landscape painting," Inness is best known for his mature works that not only exemplified the Tonalist movement but also displayed an original and uniquely American style.
