EDITORS COMMENTS
The Coming Storm" by George Inness is a captivating oil painting that captures the raw power and impending danger of nature. Painted in 1879, this landscape masterpiece depicts a rural scene with a farmhouse nestled amidst vast fields and livestock. The composition is dominated by an ominous grey sky filled with dark clouds, hinting at an approaching storm. The solitary figure of a shepherd stands alone in the field, holding his crook as he watches over his flock. The pastoral setting evokes a sense of isolation and vulnerability against the backdrop of the brewing tempest. Inness skillfully portrays the contrast between light and shadow, creating depth and atmosphere within the painting. The soft brushstrokes bring life to every element, from the swaying crops to the grazing animals. This print captures all these details beautifully, allowing viewers to appreciate Inness' mastery even more closely. It serves as a reminder of both man's connection to nature and our inherent fragility in its face. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, this artwork continues to inspire awe for its ability to evoke emotions through its depiction of an impending storm. A gift from an anonymous donor, it remains as one of Inness' most celebrated works that transcends time.
