"Gloucester Harbor" (1918) by Childe Hassam (1859-1935) is a vibrant Impressionist painting depicting the bustling waterfront of Gloucester, Massachusetts. Hassam's signature use of bright colors and loose brushstrokes captures the light and energy of the scene, showcasing a picturesque view of the harbor with boats and buildings framed by lush greenery. The painting reflects Hassam's fascination with the beauty of American landscapes and his mastery of capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere.
