Eye Candy for Today: George Inness landscape study

On Wikimedia Commons. As far as I can tell, the original is in a private collection.

In this small but strikingly beautiful study (9×13 in; 23x33m), we get an uncharacteristic glimpse of Inness wielding the brush. The brief notations of the animals and buildings are remarkable for their naturalistic appearance when viewed from a slight distance.

  1. As you say, this small, simple work is an uncanny illustration of the sorcery of painting for eye and heart. Funny how sometimes economy can take your breath away. Thanks for showing us this.
