Galerie Mont The Long Leg – Edward Hopper^ Hopper

Edward Hopper’s The Long Leg depicts a peaceful nautical scene where a sailboat is sailing on calm waters, with a coastal landscape in the background. The dominant colours are soft, natural shades, including the deep blue of the water, the light blue of the sky and the bright white of the sail. The composition highlights the fluidity of the forms and the contrasts between the natural and non-natural elements such as the boat and the building on the coast.

The sailboat, alone on the water, evokes an atmosphere of serenity and solitude. The reflections of the sky and the sail on the smooth surface of the water add depth and beauty to the scene. “The Long Leg” is a testament to Hopper’s ability to capture moments of tranquility and solitude in seemingly ordinary scenes, while exploring the relationship between man and nature.
