George Inness traveled to Italy early in his career and again in the 1870s, and its historic landscape left a lasting mark on his development as one of the most influential American landscape painters of the nineteenth century. "Twilight in Italy" reflects this Italian sojourn, rendered in the soft, glowing light and hazy brushwork that defined his mature style, shaped by his Swedenborgian religious belief that landscape painting could express unseen spiritual truth through mood and atmosphere.
