Isles of Shoals 1899

Childe Hassam's "Isles of Shoals" (1899) depicts a picturesque seascape of the rocky coast, a popular subject for the artist. Known for his Impressionist style, Hassam captures the fleeting light and color of the scene through loose brushstrokes and vibrant hues. The composition is dominated by the cool, blue water, with rocky outcroppings leading the viewer's eye towards the horizon. A small sailboat in the distance adds a sense of scale and tranquility to the scene, showcasing the beauty of the New England coastline. The work is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
