Newburyport Meadows

Martin Johnson Heade

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Large landscape painting of a field with several round hay bales scattered throughout. The field is green and yellow with some puddles of water. There are trees on the left and right sides of the field, and a line of trees or hills in the distance. The sky is cloudy, with sunbeams shining through the clouds. The sunbeams are bright white and shine down towards the field. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of green, yellow, brown, and gray. The painting style appears realistic.
