After a Summer Shower is a 1894 oil by George Inness, a hudson_river_school_movement work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
The painting shows a landscape after a summer shower. It's a calm scene with trees and a pond. The artist used soft colors to create a peaceful mood, which is interesting because it was painted during a time when many artists focused on bold colors and dramatic scenes. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: glazing.
