Oil Painting George Inness "Peace and Plenty" Harvest Season Landscape 1865

Description: This beautiful oil painting by George Inness titled "Peace and Plenty" depicts a serene landscape during the harvest season. The medium-sized image measures 17 inches in length and 13 inches in height, and has an antique 19 x 15 frame for display. The painting showcases the artist's skill in capturing the beauty of nature, and is signed by George Inness himself. The painting is a great addition to any art collection, and is perfect for those who appreciate landscape art. The piece is categorized under Art Prints and Art, and is a great conversation starter. The painting was produced in 1865 in New Jersey, USA, and is a great representation of the artist's talent during that time period.Painted toward the end of the Civil War, this large composition was intended as a direct challenge to the grandiose, literal style of the Hudson River School painters, such as Frederic Edwin Church and Albert Bierstadt. As opposed to exotic subject matter and technical accuracy, Inness offered an image of suburban farmland imbued with feeling, which he communicated through enriched pigment and softened brushstrokes. The title, the depiction of a bountiful harvest, and statements by the artist associated with this and other pictures made during the war suggest his faith in Union victory and prosperity.This piece of art has been in my family as long as I can remember. (I'm 83) I really don't know that much about it except it is a beautiful piece of art in a beautiful antique wood frame.
