Top of Cape Ann
Childe Hassam
"Top of Cape Ann," was painted in 1918 and the title relates to a scenic spot located near the Rocky Neck artists' colony in Massachusetts. Hassam, who often visited Gloucester on Cape Ann (Massachusetts), was there in the summer of 1918. The Metropolitan Museum of Art owns a work of the same period titled "Church at Gloucester." "Top of Cape Ann," also relates both in subject and technique to "Ocean Pool, Bass Rocks," (Massachusetts) of 1919, owned by the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
