The artwork titled “The Quai, Lannion” was created by Childe Hassam in the year 1910. It is a part of the Impressionism art movement and falls under the genre of cityscape.
In the artwork, a vibrant depiction of a quay in the town of Lannion is presented with picturesque buildings lining the waterfront. The buildings are illustrated in a palette of pastel colors, primarily consisting of shades of blue, green, and cream, with contrasting accents of red and orange. Hassam captures the essence of the town with loose, expressive brushstrokes that evoke the transient effects of light and atmosphere. A prominent tower rises in the background, grounding the scene with a sense of historical continuity and architectural grandeur. The sky above is painted in a clear, bright blue, which contributes to the artwork’s overall sense of calm and serene beauty.
