Colonial Church, Gloucester is a 1918 ink by Childe Hassam, depicting Church Building, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a quiet path lined with trees leading to a tall white church. Soft browns and loose lines make the scene feel calm and old. Hassam made this in 1918 during a wave of American pride in early buildings. He often painted New England scenes like this one. Look for a similar mood in works by Hassam, Childe.
Frederick Childe Hassam was an American Impressionist painter, noted for his urban and coastal scenes.
