The artwork titled “In the Gloaming” was created by George Inness in 1893. It is associated with the Tonalism movement and belongs to the landscape genre.
“In the Gloaming” portrays a serene evening scene, enveloped in a soft and misty atmosphere. The landscape is dominated by a large tree in the foreground, its branches subtly blending with the surrounding foliage and twilight sky. The delicate use of light and shadow creates a tranquil and introspective mood, emblematic of the Tonalism movement’s focus on the atmospheric effects of nature. The muted color palette and the nuanced transition between light and dark areas capture the quiet lyricism of the moment, evoking a contemplative sense of calm and connection with the natural world.
