Island Village, Coast of Maine 1909

"Island Village, Coast of Maine" is a 1909 oil painting by American artist Rockwell Kent, now housed in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The piece depicts a small coastal village nestled in the crook of a bay, with a larger island in the distance. The painting captures the serene beauty of the Maine coast, with a vast, blue sky and fluffy white clouds, characteristic of Kent's style and his depictions of the New England landscape. The painting reflects the artist's fascination with the natural world and his ability to translate the rugged beauty of the environment onto canvas.
