Church at Old Lyme, 1924

1924
20th Century
7 1/4 in. x 6 1/2 in.

Frederick Childe Hassam, American, (October 17, 1859–August 27, 1935)

Medium and Support: etching on paper

Credit Line: Florence Griswold Museum; Given in memory of Daniel Woodhead, Jr., and Henry B. Day

Accession Number: 1978.62

A view of the Old Lyme Congregational Church showing the grand portico and 5 ionic columns. A line of fence posts runs across the foreground. At the age of fifty-five, Hassam turned his attention toward the creation of etchings and drypoints, and produced more than 350 plates over the next decade and a half. His impressionist style is successfulkly translated into print, capturing the play of light and shadow. His earlier paintings of the church, done between 1903 and 1906, did a great deal to popularize the art colony and the church as a subject.
