George Inness (1825-1894)
Early Painting
A dry-goods auctioneer, Ogden Haggerty, is said to have interested himself in Inness's early painting, and to have paid for his first trip abroad in 1847, when Inness visited England and Italy.
During his time in Rome, it is believed he was introduced to the spiritual theories of Emanuel Swedenborg, by the painter William Page. A second trip to Europe, including a long stay at Florence, followed in 1850-2, after which Inness achieved the status of Associate of the National Academy in 1853.

It was around this time that he was commissioned by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad to illustrate the history of the company's commercial development. It was, however, his third trip, in 1854, to France, where he first encountered the work of Barbizon plein air painting masters like Corot (1796-1875), Charles Daubigny (1817-78), Theodore Rousseau (1812-67) and Courbet (1819-77), that was the decisive experience for Inness.
