ATTRIBUTED TO GEORGE INNESS (NY/MA/SCOTLAND, 1825-1894)

Summer Evening, Country Landscape with Oxen Team Hauling a Laden Wagon Across Bridge, oil on canvas, unsigned, unframed, 30" x 50". Rippled, light craquelure.Inness was born in New York City and grew up on a farm in Newark, New Jersey. His minimal art training consisted of time spent with an itinerant artist, but he was to go on to meld the eye of the Hudson River School with the spiritual qualities of the Barbizon School of France and Swedenborgian philosophy of correspondences or insights by association. His wide ranging travels, broad field of work and spiritualism inspired a large circle of artists.
