Inness was a follower of 18th century scientist Emanuel Swedenborg, whose following quote inspired the misty atmosphere of this painting:

“Objects cannot be seen except in space, therefore in the spiritual world where angels and spirits are, there appear to be spaces like the spaces on earth; yet they are not spaces, but appearances; since they are not fixed and constant as spaces are on earth.”
