View of the Port 1895

"View of the Port" is a painting by Norwegian-American artist Alfredo Andersen, created in 1895. The painting captures the serenity of a harbor at dusk, showcasing a ship docked at a pier, against a backdrop of a peaceful sky with soft, yellow and purple hues. Andersen's use of Impressionistic brushstrokes evokes a sense of tranquility and a fleeting moment in time. The work reflects a transition between the 19th and 20th centuries, blending traditional landscape elements with the emerging modernity of industrialization. This painting is a beautiful example of Andersen's distinct style, combining detailed realism with Impressionistic touches.
