Landscape, Sunset

George Inness's Landscape, Sunset is an oil on canvas painting created between 1887 and 1889. 



The painting depicts a tranquil landscape at sunset. The sky is a vibrant orange-red, casting a warm glow over the scene. In the foreground, there is a dark, shadowy area of trees and vegetation, suggesting a wooded area. A body of water, possibly a pond or marsh, is visible in the middle ground, reflecting the fiery hues of the sunset. The water appears calm and still. A small, dark figure is visible in the distance, adding a sense of scale and solitude to the scene. The overall style is atmospheric and evocative, with a focus on the interplay of light and shadow and the mood of the sunset. The painting is in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
