Monhegan Landscape 1919

"Monhegan Landscape" (1919) by American realist painter Edward Hopper depicts a seascape with rugged cliffs and a small lone tree on the coast, overlooking a vast body of water. The artist, known for his evocative and often melancholic depictions of American life, captures the quiet solitude of the scene with his signature use of light and shadow. The painting, housed at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, showcases Hopper's early exploration of landscapes and his transition from figurative art to a more atmospheric style.
