With its rich autumn color palette, Charles Sydney Hopkinson’s "The Grapevine "(1916) feels especially at home this time of year. 🍂

This oil on canvas is part of the NAC’s permanent collection. Many of Hopkinson’s works were painted at his cliffside summer home in Manchester-by-the-Sea, about twenty miles northeast of Boston. A popular resort since the mid-19th century, Manchester was known for its fine beaches, sheltered harbor, quiet rural charm, and scenic rock ledges along the coast.

One of those ledges appears in the background of "The Grapevine". Here, Hopkinson portrays his three eldest daughters perched on the wooden trellis beside the 20-foot-high cliff on the family estate, gathering fruit from the old Concord grapevine, a vine that continues to grow there to this day. 🍇

Let's go back in time and take a look at the exterior of the National Arts Club, circa 1939–1941.

For more than a century, this remarkable building has stood through decades of change, quietly witnessing the countless lives, stories, and generations that have passed through Gramercy Park. There’s something special about looking at the NAC as it appeared nearly a century ago, and realizing that the building has experienced so many lifetimes, while remaining a constant part of the neighborhood. 🚗🖤

It’s the first day of fall, and the leaves are already changing color! 🍁 What better way to celebrate the season than with the rich fall palette of "Feeding the Peacocks" (1910) by William Baxter Palmer Closson?

Part of the NAC's permanent collection, this oil on canvas beautifully reveals the hallmarks of Closson’s aesthetic, particularly his remarkable abilities as a colorist and his decorative approach to line and form. His vibrant palette features an array of metallic greens that capture the iridescent coats of the peacocks, creating a dazzling interplay of color and light. 🍂🦚
