FISHING SHACK ROCKPORT MASSACHUSETTS
New England
Circa 1960’s

A vintage painting of Bradley Wharf in the harbor town of Rockport, Massachusetts. This fishing shack well known to students of art and art history as “the most often-painted building in America.” Built in the 1840s as Rockport was becoming home to a colony of artists and settlement of fishermen. The shack became a favorite subject of painters due to the composition and lighting of its location as well as being a symbol of New England maritime life. The structure was destroyed in the Blizzard of 1978, but an exact replica was constructed that same year.

This painting oil on board is by a unknown 20th century artist. The painting captures a morning mist in a realist manner as it is done in light pigments. The scene shows the iconic fishing shack with five figures and docked fishing boats. A fine painting highlighting this famous blue-collar landmark.

No restorations or in painting. (Never cleaned)
