Label TextHaseltine was one of a group of American artists who traveled throughout Europe, and in particular, to Düsseldorf and Rome to study landscape painting in the 1850s. The present landscape exhibits all of the qualities for which he was critically praised when he returned to New York to join Bierstadt, Church, and Whittredge at the Tenth Street Studio Building in 1858. Critics in particular responded admiringly to his accurate depiction of the geographical particularity of the rocky coast of New England, as evidenced in this painting.
