Childe Hassam spent much of his career capturing the busy streets of New York and other major cities. Every summer, however, Hassam retreated to the scenic New England countryside and coastline to find refuge from the fast pace of modern life and reconnect with nature. There, he painted with the earthy tones and organic forms found in The Grapevine. This timeless painting, which harkens back to classical iconography, is anchored in the twentieth century by Hassam's Impressionist brushwork and modern cropping.
