The artwork titled “Old Dutch Building, Fishkill, New York” was created by the artist Childe Hassam in the year 1916. This piece belongs to the Impressionism art movement and is categorized under the genre of genre painting.
The artwork depicts an intricately detailed old building, presumably of Dutch architectural style, located in Fishkill, New York. The structure is characterized by its red and white brickwork, with the red bricks outlining the windows and doorways, creating a striking contrast. Tall trees partially obscure the facade, their leaves forming a green canopy that softens the view of the building. The windows appear to be arched, contributing to the historical ambiance of the structure. The scene captures a quiet, somewhat nostalgic atmosphere, synonymous with Hassam’s Impressionistic style, which emphasizes the beauty of everyday scenes through light and color.
