July Night 1898

Childe Hassam’s *July Night* (1898) depicts a solitary woman standing in a garden bathed in the soft glow of Japanese lanterns. Hassam, known for his Impressionistic style, utilizes vibrant colors and visible brushstrokes to capture the ethereal quality of the night. The woman's form is rendered in silhouette, emphasizing the luminous atmosphere, and creating a mood of tranquility and quiet contemplation. This oil-on-canvas painting is a captivating example of Hassam's mastery of light and color.
