At Sunset 1909

"At Sunset" (1909) by American artist Childe Hassam, portrays a woman walking through a lush, sun-drenched forest. The Impressionistic style, characterized by visible brushstrokes and a focus on light and color, creates a sense of immediacy and movement. The dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves evokes a feeling of tranquility and warmth. Hassam's signature use of color, particularly his vibrant greens and yellows, captures the beauty and vibrancy of the natural world. This painting, typical of his later works, showcases Hassam's mastery of capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere.
