The Cleveland Museum of Art catalogs Sunny Autumn Day as painting (America · 1892).
Inness died while viewing a sunset, proclaiming, "Oh, how beautiful!” and falling to the ground.
A CLOSER LOOK
The museum identifies this painting as oil on canvas and credits George Inness (American, 1825–1894).
The museum's collection notes: Highly prolific, Inness created more than 1,000 works during a career lasting 50 years. Dated just two years before his death, Sunny Autumn Day epitomizes his late style in which the physical landscape is transformed into something akin to a spiritual apparition. Featuring blurred forms and atmospheric effects from translucent colors, this scene reflects Inness’s mystical view of the natural world.
