About ‘A Bit of the Roman Aqueduct, George Inness’
A Bit of the Roman Aqueduct, George Inness
Through the support of his patron, Inness was able to make his initial trip abroad to Italy in 1851. Like many artists before him, Inness was attracted to the solemn grandeur of the Roman Campagna. A Bit of the Roman Aqueduct is an example of Inness’s application of Old Master traditions of composition and deeply sonorous color to his contemporary interpretation of the Italian landscape.
George Inness (1825-1894) was a prominent American landscape painter.
One of the most influential American artists of the nineteenth century, Inness was influenced, in turn, by the Old Masters, the Hudson River school, the Barbizon school, and, finally, the theology of Emanuel Swedenborg, whose spiritualism found vivid expression in the work of Inness's maturity.
