About the piece

George Hitchcock’s 1906 painting 'Calypso' is a masterful example of American Impressionism. The work depicts the mythological nymph standing in a field of violets, her diaphanous white gown caught in a gentle breeze. The high-key palette and soft, painterly brushwork create an ethereal atmosphere that captures the brilliant light of a spring day.
