"The Monk" is a notable painting by George Inness, an influential American landscape painter associated with the Tonalism movement. Created in 1873, this work exemplifies Inness's mature style, characterized by a soft focus, subdued palette, and an emphasis on mood and atmosphere over detailed representation. The painting depicts a solitary monk in a contemplative pose within a serene, natural setting, which reflects Inness's interest in spiritual and philosophical themes.

Inness, born in 1825, was deeply influenced by the works of the Old Masters, the Hudson River School, and the Barbizon School, as well as by the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish philosopher and theologian whose ideas permeated Inness's approach to art. "The Monk" is considered a manifestation of Inness's belief in the spiritual connection between man and nature, and it showcases his ability to convey a sense of transcendence through landscape painting.

Measuring 44 1/4 x 36 1/4 inches (112.4 x 92.1 cm), "The Monk" is held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. The painting is often cited as an example of Inness's skill in using light and color to create a harmonious and emotionally resonant scene that invites viewers to reflect on the deeper, ineffable qualities of the natural world. "The Monk" remains an important work in the study of American art and continues to be admired for its technical mastery and profound expressiveness.
