The artwork titled “Perros-Guire, Cotes du Nord, France” was created by Childe Hassam in the year 1910. This piece falls within the Impressionism art movement and is categorized under the cityscape genre.
In the artwork, Childe Hassam masterfully captures a lively coastal scene of Perros-Guirec in Cotes-du-Nord, France. The landscape depicted features a dynamic beachside full of people, painted with vibrant dabs of color and a varied palette to bring life to the scene. The brushwork is characteristic of the Impressionist style, emphasizing light and movement rather than detailed realism. The shoreline, dotted with numerous colorful figures, stretches into a calm blue sea framed by verdant hills and a bright sky overhead. Hassam’s use of light captures the pleasant and spirited ambiance of a day by the seaside, rendering the town and its surroundings with a blend of clarity and the ephemeral quality typical of Impressionist works.
