Jardín de Celia Thaxter, Islas Shoals, Maine

Childe Hassam American
1890
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 769
Este cuadro es uno de los más bellos de una serie pintada por Hassam durante los veranos de la década de 1890 en la isla Appledore, una de las Islas Shoals situadas a dieciséis kilómetros al este de Portsmouth, New Hampshire. El tema de la serie, en la que el impresionista americano alcanza el apogeo de su creatividad, es el magnífico jardín de flores silvestres cultivado por la poeta Celia Thaxter, amiga de Hassam, un jardín que ofrecía un maravilloso contraste con el accidentado terreno de la isla. Aquí, vibrantes amapolas rojas mezcladas con el frondoso follaje verde enmarcan una vista de la roca blanquecina denominada Babb’s Rock.
