Landscape, Sunset is a 1888 oil by George Inness, a hudson_river_school_movement work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
The painting shows a landscape at sunset with warm colors. It's interesting because the artist used soft brushstrokes to create a sense of calm. The sky is painted with gentle, feathery clouds, which adds to the peaceful atmosphere.
