About: ‘Palace of Fine Arts’ by Childe Hassam
Childe Hassam (1859-1935) was a prominent American artist and a key figure in the American Impressionist movement. Renowned for his vivid and expressive use of color, Hassam's work often featured landscapes, urban scenes, and portraits, capturing the beauty of both everyday life and the natural world. The painting shown here depicts the Palace of Fine Arts (now Griffin MSI) as it appeared during the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition.
