"Aphrodite, Appledore" is a notable painting by the American Impressionist artist Frederick Childe Hassam, created in 1908. This work exemplifies Hassam's mastery in capturing light and atmosphere, hallmarks of the Impressionist movement, which he adapted to the American landscape and sensibilities. The painting depicts a serene coastal scene at Appledore Island, part of the Isles of Shoals off the coast of New Hampshire and Maine, a location that Hassam frequented and found deeply inspiring.

In "Aphrodite, Appledore," Hassam employs a vibrant palette and loose brushwork to convey the shimmering effects of sunlight on water and the rugged beauty of the New England coastline. The title references Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, suggesting a mythic quality to the natural landscape. This connection to classical mythology imbues the scene with a timeless and universal appeal, merging the ancient with the contemporary.

Hassam's choice of Appledore Island as a subject is significant, as the island was a popular retreat for artists and writers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the poet Celia Thaxter, who was a close friend of Hassam. The island's picturesque scenery provided endless inspiration for Hassam, and he produced numerous works capturing its unique charm.

"Aphrodite, Appledore" is celebrated for its dynamic composition and the artist's ability to evoke a sense of place and moment. The painting is a testament to Hassam's skill in translating the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere onto canvas, making it a quintessential example of American Impressionism. Today, it remains an important piece within Hassam's oeuvre and continues to be admired for its beauty and technical prowess.
