George Inness returned to the Catskill Mountains of New York throughout his career, and "Summer in the Catskills" reflects the softer, more atmospheric style he developed after his early years working in the detailed tradition of the Hudson River School. Rendered in warm, hazy light, the painting reflects Inness's mature conviction, shaped by his Swedenborgian religious beliefs, that landscape painting should evoke mood and spiritual feeling rather than simply record topographical fact.
