About the piece

Created in 1907, this work by William Merritt Chase captures the radiant light of Florence with his signature loose, confident brushwork. The composition features a row of golden-hued architectural structures lining the Arno river, showcasing the artist's masterful ability to translate atmospheric light into vibrant color during his time in Italy.
