"Over the Hills and Far Away" is an oil painting by the prominent American Impressionist artist William Merritt Chase (1849–1916). Created in 1897, this work exemplifies Chase's skill in capturing the effects of light and atmosphere, a hallmark of the Impressionist movement. The painting is part of a series where Chase explored open-air themes, showcasing his adeptness at rendering landscapes with a sense of immediacy and vitality.

The composition of "Over the Hills and Far Away" features a pastoral landscape, possibly inspired by Chase's summers spent at the Shinnecock Hills on Long Island, where he established the first important outdoor summer school for art, the Shinnecock Hills Summer School of Art. The scene is bathed in sunlight, with the title suggesting a view extending into the distance, evoking a sense of wanderlust and the beauty of the natural world.

Measuring 34 x 40 inches (86.4 x 101.6 cm), the painting is noted for its loose brushwork and vibrant color palette, characteristics that align with Chase's Impressionist contemporaries. Chase's ability to blend the influence of European Impressionism with a distinctly American sensibility is evident in this work. The painting invites viewers to contemplate the serene and bucolic setting, a testament to Chase's interest in capturing the fleeting moments of light and color.

"Over the Hills and Far Away" is considered an important piece within Chase's oeuvre, reflecting his transition from the more formal academic style of his early career to a freer, more expressive approach influenced by his exposure to European modernist trends. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to American Impressionism and its embodiment of the spirit of the era in which it was created.

As an artist, William Merritt Chase was a leading figure in American art at the turn of the 20th century, and his work played a significant role in the development of American Impressionism. He was a prolific painter, teacher, and influential member of the art community, leaving a lasting legacy through his art and his students, many of whom went on to become prominent artists themselves. "Over the Hills and Far Away" remains a celebrated example of Chase's landscape paintings and his masterful use of light and color to capture the essence of the American countryside.
