“At the Boat Landing,” created by William Merritt Chase in 1902, is an impressionist landscape painting executed with oil on canvas. The artwork, measuring 30.48 x 38.1 cm, is currently housed in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a tranquil riverside scene featuring several boats docked along a grassy shore. The composition is bathed in soft light, characteristic of the Impressionist movement, capturing the serene atmosphere and the lush, verdant surroundings. The gentle strokes and the nuanced play of light and shadow on the water and the grass evoke a sense of peace and pastoral beauty. This landscape exemplifies Chase’s adeptness at capturing the ephemeral qualities of nature through his painterly technique and keen observational prowess.
