George Inness was drawn throughout his career to dramatic, transient weather, and "The Storm" reflects his interest in capturing the mood and atmosphere of an approaching storm rather than fixed topographical detail. Rendered in the loose, tonal brushwork of his mature style, the painting exemplifies Inness's belief, shaped by his Swedenborgian religious convictions, that landscape painting could express unseen spiritual and emotional truth through light and atmosphere.
