Did You Know?

John Henry Twachtman studied art making in Cincinnati, Munich, and Paris.
A horizontally oriented oil painting depicts a somber coastal scene. On the left, green tufts of grass and a spindly post dot a sandy beach that curves toward the center. Deep teal water fills the right, where two tiny white sailboats drift near a distant dark-green shoreline. Broad, textured brushstrokes form heavy gray and white clouds that dominate the sky, casting the scene in a moody, diffused light.
