Wild Swans Sacred to Apollo 1921

Childe Hassam's "Wild Swans Sacred to Apollo" (1921) is a painting of three nude figures standing on a shoreline. The figures are silhouetted against a bright blue lake and a distant, hilly landscape. The painting is known for its strong sense of light and color, as well as its dreamy atmosphere. The figures appear to be almost weightless, and the landscape is bathed in a soft, golden light. Hassam was a prominent American Impressionist, and this artwork is a prime example of his style. The painting evokes a sense of peace and serenity, and it has been interpreted as a celebration of the beauty of nature and the human form.
