Storm King

Childe Hassam

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a body of water in the foreground, large hills or mountains in the background, and a steam-powered vessel emitting smoke on the horizon. The composition is divided by a horizon line, with the sky above and water below. The overall style uses a monochromatic palette of varying shades of gray, creating a tranquil atmosphere. The sky has soft, diffuse clouds, and the landforms in the distance blend seamlessly with the surrounding elements.
