Style

Childe Hassam was associated with Impressionism, an art movement characterized by capturing fleeting moments through quick brushstrokes and emphasis on light effects. In this work, he applies some elements commonly seen in Impressionist paintings such as loose brushwork and atmospheric lighting to convey an overall impression rather than detailed precision. The tone used in "The Seine at Chatou" leans towards a peaceful ambiance, inviting viewers to immerse themselves into this idyllic riverside scene. By adopting soft edges between forms or objects within nature’s surroundings (such as trees or waves), it creates a dream-like quality that adds to its tranquil appeal.
