| George Inness - Moonlight, 1885 |
In this atmospheric image, a lone woman in a flowing gown stands in a garden under a moonlit sky. The colors are dark and mysterious. To the right of the picture is the edge of a railing. Trees frame the landscape’s view and the reflection of the glowing moon. Romantic and poetic images like this were popular in the late 1800s. We cannot see the woman’s face, but we watch her contemplate the beautiful scene from afar and wonder what she is thinking. Inness uses lighting and color to create a calm, quiet, yet dramatic, mood. via
