Highly prolific, Inness created more than 1,000 works during a career lasting 50 years. Dated just two years before his death, <em>Sunny Autumn Day</em> epitomizes his late style in which the physical landscape is transformed into something akin to a spiritual apparition. Featuring blurred forms and atmospheric effects from translucent colors, this scene reflects Inness’s mystical view of the natural world.
