The Museum’s collection celebrates American Impressionism from the 1880s to the 1920s, showcasing artists who captured the movement’s signature interplay of light, color, and atmosphere. With a focus on New England painters, the collection includes artworks by renowned artists such as Childe Hassam and John Singer Sargent, alongside paintings by lesser-known talents who merit greater recognition. Thoughtfully curated, these works reveal how American artists embraced and reimagined Impressionism, forging a distinctively American interpretation of the movement.
