Description
Also known as “Two Lights”, the 1927 painting “Cape Elizabeth Light” by Edward Hopper is one of his many works reflecting on the lighthouses of his longtime Maine vacation spot. With the painting set during the day, the Two Lights lighthouse gives way to sunny skies that bathe both it and the landscape in a bright glow. Both the lighthouse and the nearby keeper’s house stand calmly but resolutely, refusing to give way to the shadows. A more modern utility pole sits in front of the lighthouse, symbolically overshadowed by its older but larger brethren. Featured in a number of other paintings, such as “The Lighthouse at Two Lights” by Edward Hopper, the Cape Elizabeth lighthouse is one of his most enduring subjects. He saw in the lighthouse the solitary male steadfastly facing the changing world, something that he so often depicted. He brings those qualities to life in a summery work that simultaneously relaxes and inspires. This Hopper lighthouse reproduction will add the same uplifting wonder to your home.
