Harbor Scene, Brooklyn Docks 1886

American artist William Merritt Chase was a prominent figure in the late 19th century art world. He is known for his Impressionistic landscapes, which are characterized by their loose brushwork and vibrant colors. This particular painting, "Harbor Scene, Brooklyn Docks," is a good example of Chase's style. It depicts the Brooklyn waterfront with a sense of peace and serenity. The painting captures the light and atmosphere of a misty day, and Chase's use of color and brushwork creates a sense of depth and movement. This painting, created in 1886, showcases the artist's adeptness at portraying the industrial landscape of the time.
