Artist: Childe Hassam - Title: Drydock, Gloucester - Medium: Fine Art Giclee on Canvas - Image Size: Approximately 14 inches x 20 inches - Framed: Unframed on Unstretched Canvas - Biography: Childe Hassam was a leading American impressionist painter and printmaker. The son of a prosperous hardware merchant and antique collector, Hassam (christened Frederick Childe Hassam) was born in 1859 near Boston. In 1872 a great fire in Boston destroyed his father's business, forcing Hassam to leave school. He found a job with a publishing firm, but having little talent for business, he began work as an apprentice to a wood engraver and later created illustrations for such magazines as Harper's and The Century.
