The artwork, “Isle of Shoals,” was created by the artist Childe Hassam between the years 1890 and 1894. It belongs to the Impressionism art movement and falls under the landscape genre.
In “Isle of Shoals,” Childe Hassam portrays a serene coastal scene with his characteristic impressionistic style. The composition features a gently sloping landscape leading to the sea, with a sailboat visible in the distance. The foreground is adorned with natural rock formations and vibrant greenery, dotted with blooming flowers, which are rendered in soft, fluid brushstrokes. A house, built in traditional architectural style, sits gracefully on the right, subtly blending with the natural surroundings. The overall palette of earthy greens, browns, and subtle blues evokes a tranquil, sunlit environment, capturing the ephemeral beauty of the coastal landscape.
