Calm in Gloucester Harbor is a 1896 oil by Carlton Theodore Chapman, a American Impressionism work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
The painting depicts a serene scene of a harbor, with several sailboats floating on the calm water. The boats are positioned in the center of the image, with their sails billowing gently in the breeze. In the background, the sky is a soft, pale gray, with a few wispy clouds scattered across it. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of tranquility and peacefulness, with the calm water and gentle breeze creating a sense of stillness. The artist has used a range of colors to capture the subtle play of light on the water, from the deep blues and greens of the shadows to the soft pinks and whites of the highlights.
