Explore the specific sites \;in the area of \;Gloucester known as Portuguese Hill depicted by renowned American realist painter Edward Hopper (1882-1967). \;Hopper is known to have painted in Gloucester on five separate occasions in the first decades of the 20th century. \;His paintings from this period capture the local landscape and architecture in a loosely \;rendered\, light-filled style and are considered by many to be some of his finest works. \;Also included are watercolors painted by Josephine Nivison Hopper (1883-1968)\, Hopper&rsquo\;s wife and artist in her own right\, whose work gained recognition long before her future husband&rsquo\;s success. \;Learn how this hillside neighborhood \;that \;the Hoppers travelled together inspired their artwork\, as well as the role the area plays in Gloucester history.
\n\nIf you have enjoyed one of our Hopper&rsquo\;s Houses Downtown tours\, the Portuguese Hill tour takes you to another side of the city to see different views. It&rsquo\;s well worth the experience!
\n\nStroll with a CAM Docent for about 1 1/2 hours towards Portuguese Hill and back to downtown Gloucester. \;This walking tour includes steep stairs and a length of the hill.
