The artwork titled “Sailing Ship Locked in Ice” was created by the artist Childe Hassam in the year 1883. It belongs to the Impressionism art movement and is categorized within the landscape genre.
In the artwork, a tranquil maritime scene is depicted, where several sailing ships appear immobilized amid an expanse of serene, icy waters. The color palette comprises soft, muted tones of purples and blues, which effectively convey the cold, tranquil atmosphere. The sails of the ships stand prominently against the subtle background, reflecting softly upon the still water. The sky is portrayed with gentle brushstrokes, blending seamlessly with the horizon, and conveying an ethereal, almost dreamlike quality to the scenery. The overall composition exudes a calm and contemplative mood, typical of the Impressionist focus on capturing light and atmosphere.
