About the piece

In 'Bridge Over the Stour', American Impressionist Childe Hassam captures the play of light across an English river scene. Painted in 1897, the work features Hassam's signature broken brushwork and a vibrant, sun-drenched palette, transforming a sturdy stone bridge into a study of atmosphere and reflection. The composition balances the solid architecture of the bridge with the fluid movement of the water and sky.
