George Inness's simply titled "Landscape" reflects the soft, atmospheric style of his mature career, in which specific topographical detail gave way to mood, light, and the emotional character of a scene. Rather than recording an exact, identifiable place, Inness used landscape as a vehicle for the spiritual and poetic concerns shaped by his Swedenborgian religious beliefs, which held that the visible world was a symbol of unseen divine truth. His loose, hazy brushwork and muted color mark a deliberate departure from the sharply detailed panoramas of the earlier Hudson River School.
