Afternoon Clouds

Charles Harold Davis, American, (January 7, 1856–August 5, 1933)

Medium and Support: oil on canvas

Credit Line: Florence Griswold Museum, Gift of The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company

Perhaps more than any other American painter Davis successfully explored the Turneresque tradition of "cloud pictures." Using a bright palette and vigorous brushwork, Davis gives the viewer a strong sense of passing clouds on a New England summer afternoon. The effect altogether belies the size of this little painting.
