"Montclair Evening" is a notable landscape painting by the prominent American artist George Inness (1825–1894), who is widely regarded as one of the foremost figures of the American landscape painting tradition, particularly associated with the Tonalist movement. Created in 1893, this work is part of a series of landscapes that Inness painted towards the end of his life, depicting scenes in and around Montclair, New Jersey, where he resided from 1885 until his death.

The painting is characterized by its moody atmosphere and soft, diffused light, which are hallmarks of Inness's mature style. "Montclair Evening" captures the essence of the Tonalist aesthetic, with its emphasis on mood and emotion over direct representation. Inness's use of color, light, and brushwork conveys a sense of tranquility and the transcendent quality of nature, reflecting his spiritual beliefs and the influence of the Swedish philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg on his work.

Measuring at 30 x 45 inches, the artwork is a medium-sized oil on canvas. It features a subdued palette dominated by greens, browns, and soft yellows, suggesting the gentle transition from twilight to the onset of evening. The composition is balanced, with trees framing the scene and a sense of depth created by the layering of the landscape elements. The foreground is typically less defined, inviting viewers to focus on the interplay of light and shadow that gives the painting its ethereal quality.

"Montclair Evening" is considered an important work in Inness's oeuvre, exemplifying his mature period and his philosophical approach to art. The painting is held in high esteem by art historians and critics for its technical mastery and its embodiment of the spiritual and emotional aspects of nature that Inness sought to convey through his art.

The painting is part of the collection of the Montclair Art Museum in Montclair, New Jersey, which houses several works by Inness and has a strong focus on American and Native American art. "Montclair Evening" continues to be a subject of study for scholars interested in American art of the late 19th century, Tonalism, and the intersection of art and spirituality.
