"Altweibersommer," also known as "Indian Summer," is a notable painting by the American landscape artist George Inness, completed in 1894. Inness, who is often regarded as one of the most influential American painters of the 19th century, is celebrated for his ability to capture the ethereal qualities of light and atmosphere in his works. "Altweibersommer" stands as a testament to his mature style, which was heavily influenced by the Barbizon school and the spiritual philosophies of Emanuel Swedenborg.

The painting depicts a serene, pastoral scene bathed in the warm, golden light characteristic of late summer or early autumn. The term "Altweibersommer" is a German expression that translates to "Old Women's Summer," akin to the English term "Indian Summer," referring to a period of unseasonably warm weather in the fall. Inness's choice of title reflects his deep appreciation for the transient beauty of nature and the subtle changes in the landscape as seasons shift.

In "Altweibersommer," Inness employs a soft, diffused light that imbues the scene with a dreamlike quality. The composition is marked by a harmonious balance between the natural elements—trees, fields, and sky—rendered in a palette of warm earth tones and muted greens. This painting exemplifies Inness's mastery of tonalism, a style characterized by its use of color and light to evoke mood and atmosphere rather than to depict precise details.

Inness's work during this period was also influenced by his spiritual beliefs, particularly the idea that nature is a manifestation of the divine. "Altweibersommer" can be seen as an expression of this philosophy, inviting viewers to contemplate the deeper, spiritual dimensions of the natural world. The painting is housed in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to be admired for its serene beauty and profound sense of tranquility.
