A Winter Sky

Texto del museo

In A Winter Sky, George Inness concentrated on depicting the effects of light and atmosphere. In this composition, the artist combined a vibrant, glowing sunset with a harsh, bleak landscape. Inness's color choice reinforces this contrast, as the warm pinks and yellows in the sky play off the cool blues of the frozen ground. George Inness originally included a figure standing at the left edge of the pond, which he later painted over so that it is no longer visible.
