This study titled Sunset over the Tuscan Hills can remind one of the cloud studies by John Constable. Although it is unlikey that Vedder would have seen any works of Constable, it is known that in 1858 he shared a studio with the English artist, Mrs. Hay. Regardless of inspiration, it's luminosity is astounding. The skill that Vedder painted these works belies that the fact that was only in his early 20's at the time. The deft use of color, the highly unusual sight line, so low on the horizon, tell us that he was already a mature artist beyond his years.
