The artwork titled “Hour of Dusk” was created by Robert Spencer in 1917. This piece belongs to the Impressionism art movement and falls under the cityscape genre.
In the artwork, a group of people gathers in a courtyard during the twilight hour, under a soft, dusky light. The scene captures the tranquil, almost ethereal atmosphere of an urban setting at dusk. The walls of the buildings around the courtyard are rendered in warm, muted tones, reflecting the fading light of day. The figures are depicted with loose brushwork typical of the Impressionist style, blending softly into their surroundings. The windows and doors add a sense of depth and structure to the composition, conveying a quiet, introspective moment in a city neighborhood. The overall mood of the artwork is serene and reflective, inviting contemplation of the simple, everyday moments that define urban life.
