Posilippo 1897

"Posilippo" is an oil painting by American Impressionist artist Childe Hassam, created in 1897. The painting depicts a picturesque view of the Italian city of Naples, captured from a high vantage point. The scene features a winding road lined with trees and buildings, with the distant hillside providing a stunning backdrop. Hassam's signature Impressionist style is evident in the use of loose brushstrokes and vibrant color, capturing the shimmering light and warmth of the Italian landscape. This artwork reflects Hassam's fascination with European Impressionism and his desire to convey the beauty and vibrancy of the world around him.
