About the piece

Created in 1905, this work by Childe Hassam is a quintessential example of American Impressionism. It depicts the historic Congregational church at Old Lyme, Connecticut, through a veil of shimmering autumnal leaves. Hassam uses a luminous palette and flickering brushwork to capture the transient effects of light and the crisp atmosphere of a fall day.
