George Inness II Oil on Panel Coastal Plain at Sunrise, Signed, circa 1887
About the Item
George Inness II (American 1854-1926), Barbizon style coastal landscape, circa 1887, an oil on panel view of coastal plain at sunrise with ocean close on horizon, signed and inscribed across the bottom and on the back.
George Inness II was one of America's foremost figure and landscape artists. He followed in the footsteps of his father, one of the first American artists in the Barbizon and Impressionist Schools, and a founder of the Tonalist School. George Jr. studied with his father and Léon Bonnat in the 1870s in Europe, where he was made an officer of the Académie des Beaux-Arts. Like his father, he was considered a member of the Barbizon School and resisted impressionism.
Later he returned to the United States and became known for his paintings of animals and illustration of hunting scenes. In 1899 he was elected to the National Academy of Design. He lived and worked in Boston, New York City and New Jersey and finally in Tarpon Springs, Florida, where he produced most of his life's work. The Unitarian Universalist Church in Tarpon Springs contains a collection of eleven of his works, several of which are murals painted directly to the walls of the church sanctuary.
Inness married the daughter of publisher Roswell Smith, who founded the publishing house the Century Company. Smith's purchase of a large canvas painted by Inness of New Hampshire's Mount Washington helped launch Inness's financial success, which did not come until middle age. Inness later purchased his home Wentworth Manor in Montclair, New Jersey, from his father-in-law Smith in 1889. His summer estate at Cragsmoor, New York, known as Chetolah, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
This is an astounding painting, with a beautiful luminous warmth and depth. It remains in extremely good condition.
