George Inness (1825–1894) was an American Landscape painter during the 19th century. He was greatly influenced by the Hudson River School and Barbizon School, however, he did not share the same spiritual beliefs with either of them. Instead, his spiritual beliefs as an artist were later informed by Emanuel Swedenborg’s theology. Inness’ paintings mimic the overall atmosphere of the landscape rather than attempting to imitate every small detail. He is considered one of the greatest American landscape painters due to his unique style, strong compositions, and color theory.
