<div><font face=Lato size=3 color="#191919"><em>The Road to the Harbor, Gloucester, Massachusetts</em> is a vibrant and characteristically bold example of Jane Peterson’s celebrated views of the Massachusetts coast, a subject that remains among the most sought after in her work. Previously held in the collection of the artist and her estate, the painting reflects the period when Peterson was producing her finest New England scenes, distilling the atmosphere and color of Gloucester with a confident and expressive hand.

Une collection de Boston
The Road to the Harbor, Gloucester, Massachusetts est un exemple vibrant et caractéristique des célèbres vues de la côte du Massachusetts réalisées par Jane Peterson, un sujet qui reste parmi les plus recherchés dans son œuvre. Auparavant conservée dans la collection de l'artiste et de sa succession, cette peinture reflète la période où Peterson produisait ses plus belles scènes de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, distillant l'atmosphère et les couleurs de Gloucester d'une main sûre et expressive. Gloucester était l'un de ses sujets préférés, et les peintures comparables de cette région ont dépassé les attentes lors des ventes aux enchères, souvent en doublant largement leurs estimations hautes, soulignant à la fois l'attrait du thème et la valeur concurrentielle de l'œuvre présentée ici.


 


Cette grande toile capture un après-midi tranquille sur la côte, avec une route de terre menant au port de Gloucester, comme le suggère le titre. Peterson utilise des couleurs saturées et des coups de pinceau larges et vifs pour animer la scène, des touches de bleu sur les toits à l'interaction changeante du bleu et du gris dans le ciel qui s'éloigne, suggérant un moment juste après la pluie. Le tableau est étroitement lié à d'autres œuvres de Gloucester figurant dans les collections des grands musées, notamment Old Road, Gloucester au Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.





Peterson était connue pour choisir des sujets qui dépassaient les attentes conventionnelles des femmes artistes de son époque, privilégiant les scènes de rue, les voyages, la vie publique et même les expériences de guerre. The Road to the Harbor, Gloucester, Massachusetts incarne cet esprit tourné vers l'extérieur, révélant sa capacité à transformer les chemins côtiers quotidiens en scènes d'une immédiateté vivante et d'un charme durable.
