Mt. Beacon at Newburgh — Fine Art

This fine art print of Mt. Beacon at Newburgh places a hill rising over a river town at the centre of the sheet. Buildings line the water below and the sky above holds soft blue.

Childe Hassam painted the view with quick strokes that leave the edges open. The white frame gives the image a clean edge on the wall. The white edge keeps the hill shape clear against the room.

A white frame also lets the blue sky read well on a dark bookshelf. In a bedroom, the hill shape sits on the wall above the bed. You notice the river bend and the open top of the sky first.
