The Mill Pond
George Inness, 1889
A distinctive 19th-century landscape painter, George Inness excelled at capturing the poetics and mood of his environs, finding spiritual resonances in nature from its grand vistas to its quiet nooks. The Mill Pond depicts a wooded scene, in which a small figure rows a boat in the pond at middle distance. Color and atmosphere rather than line or detail communicate Inness's intensity of vision, fueled by his individual encounter with nature.
