Easter Morning (Portrait at a New York Window)
Not on view
Google Lens entry:
In 1907, Childe Hassam began his Window series, which depicted views of the atmospheric effects of the New York City skyline from within genteel domestic interiors. In each painting in the series, a young woman is shown in a highly decorated apartment filled with art, sculpture, and fine furnishings. The contrast between the small spaces of Hassam's elegant interiors and the expansiveness of the city symphony outside convey the various (and sometimes opposing) sensations of modern urban life.
Childe Hassam grew up just outside of Boston as the son of a hardware merchant. After apprenticing to a wood engraver, he found work as an illustrator for Boston periodicals. Hassam took art classes at night and traveled to Paris in 1886 to study at the Académie Julian, where he encountered the latest developments in Impressionism, the style he would practice after his return to America in 1889. By the turn of the century, he was one of the leading impressionist painters in the United States.

I see the light Radiant light Deliciously sweet light Fragrant light Soft, smooth light Crying light Crying to me I harken to its cry Opening the window Streaming in comes the radiant light.
