Renowned for capturing the interplay of light and atmosphere in urban and natural settings, he studied in Paris and was influenced by French Impressionism. Upon returning to the U.S., Hassam became a central figure in New York’s art scene, producing numerous works depicting cityscapes, New England coastlines, and country gardens. As a founding member of “The Ten,” he played a key role in promoting American Impressionism.
