Brook in June

"Brook in June" is a vibrant landscape painting that exemplifies American Impressionism. Crafted during the height of the Old Lyme Art Colony’s prominence, the artwork captures the lush, sun-dappled scenery of a rural brook in late spring. The Florence Griswold Museum, located at 96 Lyme Street in Old Lyme, Connecticut, celebrates this movement through its remarkable collection of American Impressionist paintings. The scene’s emphasis on light and natural beauty reflects the colony’s innovative approach to Impressionism and landscape art, making it a significant example of this influential artistic period.
