The West Wind, Isles of Shoals, 1904
Artist: Childe Hassam (1859-1935)
Take an ocean journey with American Impressionist Childe Hassam to the Isles of Shoals, just off the coast of New Hampshire. Drawn there initially by his poet friend Celia Thaxter (1835-1894) who lived on the island of Appledore, he returned several summers to capture unforgettable views where the land meets the sea as seen above.
