Duke Street, Newport 1901

Childe Hassam’s “Duke Street, Newport” from 1901 depicts a quiet street scene in Newport, Rhode Island. The painting is a characteristic example of Hassam's Impressionist style, with loose brushstrokes, vibrant colors, and a focus on capturing the fleeting effects of light. Hassam's Impressionist approach emphasizes the light, shadow, and atmosphere of the scene, while the figures appear as mere silhouettes, adding to the sense of peace and tranquility.
