Northshore October 2025
On some level, enchantment with islands seems to be in our collective DNA. At least Romantics like to think so. For artist Childe Hassam (1859–1935), the Isles of Shoals—in particular, Appledore Island—located six miles off the New Hampshire and Maine coasts, were especially magical. Over the course of three decades, he returned to capture the beloved place with brushstrokes. This July, the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM), in conjunction with the North Carolina Museum of Art, presents 42 of Hassam’s oils and watercolors in an exhibition titled American Impressionist: Childe Hassam and the Isles of Shoals.
