1894
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Forge, Passage du Dragon is a 1894 by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a dark, shadowy space with a few people inside. The space has a high, arched ceiling and a large opening in the front wall. There's a smaller window high up on the back wall. The people inside are hard to see clearly because the space is so dark. They seem to be standing or sitting in the shadows. The painting has a lot of dark colors, which makes the whole scene feel mysterious. If you want to learn more about the style of this painting, you might want to look into Impressionism.
James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American painter in oils and watercolor, and printmaker, active during the American Gilded Age and based primarily in the United Kingdom.
