"Bar Island and Mt. Desert Mountains from Sommes Settlement" is a renowned artwork by American artist Fitz Hugh Lane (1804–1865), a prominent figure in the American Luminist movement. This painting, completed in oil on canvas, heightens the natural beauty and topographical uniqueness of Bar Island and the mountains of Mt. Desert in Maine, United States.

The artwork vividly captures a bucolic and idyllic scene of Sommes Settlement (now Somesville), a small village centered on Mount Desert Island. The focus is on serene Bar Island, nestled in Frenchman Bay, and the majestic peaks of Mt. Desert Mountains in the backdrop imbibing the tranquil essence of the location.

Fitz Hugh Lane meticulously depicts the unique interplay of light and color to evoke a realistic yet romantic representation of the location. His precise attention to detail and nuanced use of color imbue the painting with a sense of tranquillity, mirroring the calmness of the location. The use of light is momentum to the Luminist style, a school of painting known for its detailed rendering of landscapes bathed in a glowing, diffused light.

While the painting foregrounds the mid-19th century American infatuation with wild natural beauty, it also subtly implies the human intervention with subtle touches like the representation of a tiny yet bustling settlement. Throughout, Lane exemplifies his profound understanding of the aesthetics of landscape painting and his dexterity at capturing the serene quality of the Northeastern coastal region.

"Bar Island and Mt. Desert Mountains from Sommes Settlement" is a significant salutation to the beauty and splendor of the American Northeast, exemplifying the characteristic features of the oft-celebrated Luminist movement in American art.
