Context:
|
At a young age, Childe Hassam became a convert to Impressionist techniques. He made this sketch of Canterbury Cathedral during a trip to England in 1889.Despite its exotic sound, the name Hassam is Anglo-Saxon, and in New England Yankee fashion the accent goes on the first syllable. The name is derived from the village of Horsham in England, where the artist's ancestors originated.
