Frederick Childe Hassam’s The Spanish Stairs, Rome (1897) captures the iconic architectural beauty and lively atmosphere of Rome’s Spanish Steps. Known for his Impressionist style, Hassam uses soft brushwork and a refined colour palette to convey the play of light on the historic staircase, emphasising its cultural and historical significance. The composition brings forth a sense of serenity and timeless charm, characteristic of Hassam's European works, blending architectural detail with an evocative mood.
