About this work
The light and landscape of Florida inspired George Inness’s Early Morning, Tarpon Springs. Amid the pale pinks and blues of sunrise, a miniscule figure stands in a grove of trees, harmonizing with the surrounding landscape. The color of his pants mirrors that of the tree trunks, and his red hat suggests a luminous, low sun. Believing that objects in the natural world were suffused with spiritual meaning, Inness incorporated the tenets of Swedenborgian Christianity into his work. Landscape painting, in turn, became a site for contemplation and religious experience.
