Artwork at SBC

This a art piece that I saw in Bendict. I really love the impressionist style of the piece of work, and the sense of ultimate calm before dawn. It's amazing to me how the artist could completely capture the calm before the dark. It's peaceful. This was painted by Elizabeth Hunt Barrett in 1931 and it is called "Dusk over Sweet Briar from Mt. St. Angelo".

    Do you know what scene (or where) the painting depicts? Is it nearby?

    I believe that the painting depicts monument hill, and was painted int he early 19th century

    Sorry I was mistaken it is not a depiction of monument hill, I'm not sure what it depicts but I will find out tomorrow. If I did have to take a guess I would still say early 19th century because of the impressionist still, and it looks like to me the depiction of maybe some old homes that once stood here or near here judging by the blue ridge mountains in the background.
