Sunny Autumn Day
George Inness (American, 1825–1894), 1892.

Using it on a cover
The print file prints up to 11.3 x 8.6 in at 300 ppi — enough for a full 6 x 9 in front cover. Wider than a 6 x 9 cover: crop about 50% of the width, or use it as a wraparound across back and spine.
About the work
Highly prolific, Inness created more than 1,000 works during a career lasting 50 years. Dated just two years before his death, Sunny Autumn Day epitomizes his late style in which the physical landscape is transformed into something akin to a spiritual apparition. Featuring blurred forms and atmospheric effects from translucent colors, this scene reflects Inness’s mystical view of the natural world.
