EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases George Inness' masterpiece, "Sunset in the Woods" painted in 1891. The oil on canvas painting measures an impressive 122.2 x 183.2 cm and is part of the Corcoran Collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , USA. In this mesmerizing artwork, Inness transports us to a serene woodland scene bathed in the warm hues of a setting sun. The Hudson River School artist skillfully captures the essence of rural beauty with his representational style, emphasizing the tranquility found within nature's embrace. The golden light filtering through the trees creates a breathtaking display of dappled light and shadows, evoking a sense of calm and serenity. As we gaze upon this enchanting forest landscape, we are reminded of Inness' affiliation with Swedenborgianism, as he was deeply influenced by its spiritual teachings. The absence of human presence allows us to fully immerse ourselves in this idyllic natural setting. Each tree stands tall and proud against an ethereal sky, showcasing Inness' mastery at capturing both grandeur and subtlety simultaneously. "Sunset in the Woods" exemplifies tonalism - a movement that emerged during late 19th-century America - where artists sought to convey mood and atmosphere through subtle variations in color tones rather than intricate details. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate how it encapsulates not only American art history
