Her book “George Inness and the Visionary Landscape” is a definitive scholarly book on Inness by an academic that is used to rigorous peer review. https://www.amazon.com/George-Inness-Visionary-Landscape-Adrienne/dp/0807600091/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1480534255&sr=1-1&refinements=p_27%3AAdrienne+Baxter+Bell 9. I understand from the previous owner who had bought the painting at the 1987 auction that Mr. Michel Quick, the author of George Inness: A Catalogue Raisonne, examined the painting 15 years ago and that he thought that the painting was not by Inness. He suggested that it was a version of the Farmhouse now in collection of the University of Nebraska. (The painting can be accessed at:https://odysseythroughnebraska.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/sheldon-farmhouse.jpg) He furhter suggested that The Farmhouse was reproduced in 1913 and perhaps an admirer of Innes must have seen it and made his version of that painting. My two cents: Recent digitally scanned documents, that I listed above, revealed that the painting I am selling was with the Henry Reinhardt and Son Galleries before the Farmhouse was reproduced in 1913. Thus, it seems highly unlikely that it is a copy of the Farmhouse. My painting is also softer and more atmospheric in manner than the Farmhouse. I would guess that Inness made it soon after the Farmhouse perhaps just before his death in 1894. The plethora of brushstrokes and the paint color types catalogued by Prof. Bell in her book are evident in the painting. My restorer, who restored many an Inness painting, did not detect anything unusual/out of ordinary with this painting. The technique of glazing and suspending the pigment in the glaze was evident in the painting. Anyway, given that the painting is not included in Mr. Quick’s catalogue of Inness’ work, I am curious to see what the ebay market thinks this painting is worth. Please feel free to ask questions. Please feel free to come by and inspect the painting or send your art conservator to do it for you.

Biography: Charles Warren Eaton (1857 – 1937) A longtime resident of Bloomfield, New Jersey, Charles Warren Eaton was widely known in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries for his tonalist landscapes of New Jersey. Born in Albany, New York, he moved to New York City around 1879 to pursue his goal of becoming an artist. He enrolled in classes at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League where he studied under J. Carroll Beckwith. By the time he was twenty-five, his paintings were accepted for exhibition at the National Academy where renowned English writer, Oscar Wilde, purchased one. Eaton achieved critical success by 1910. He moved to Bloomfield in 1888 and lived there until this death. In 1889, renowned artist, George Inness, from nearby Montclair, New Jersey visited the New York studio of Eaton. He was taken with Eaton’s talent and a close mentoring relationship began, which lasted until Inness’s death in 1894. Early in his career, Eaton became known for his scenes of the setting late afternoon sun and moonlit nocturnes over foreboding landscapes. Frequent trips to Europe resulted in many views painted of Bruges in Belgium, Lake Como, Italy, Holland, and France. He also began to concentrate on the white pine forests of central New England which became the subject matter for some of his most famous paintings. Some of the many institutions and salons where his paintings were exhibited include the National Academy of Design, the Boston Art Club, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Royal Academy in London, the St. Louis Exposition, the Buenos Aires Exposition, the Paris Gallery of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Carnegie Institute. He garnered many medals and awards internationally throughout his long career.
