George Inness

1825 – 1894

American landscape painter originally influenced by the Hudson River School. He grew up in Newark, and New York City, and received his first artistic training with John Jesse Barker (active 1815-56), an itinerant artist claiming to be a student of Thomas Sully. Inness's early attraction to the Old Masters, especially to Claude Lorrain, is evident in his landscapes of the 1840s.
