Palisades on the Hudson 1866

"Palisades on the Hudson" (1866) by George Inness, depicts a picturesque landscape of the Hudson River. Inness, known for his luminous landscapes, captures the serenity of the river and the grandeur of the Palisades, with their rocky cliffs and lush foliage. The painting's soft brushstrokes and warm hues create a sense of tranquility and evoke the beauty of nature. This work is a prime example of Inness's signature style, blending realism with romanticism, and is often considered a masterpiece of American landscape painting.
