Bradley Wharf
Rockport, MA 01966

A fisherman's shack on Bradley Wharf in the harbor of Rockport, MA, is one of the most famous buildings in the world, recognizable to students of art and art history as Motif Number 1. Built in the 1840s as Rockport became home to a colony of artists and fishermen, the shack became a favorite subject of painters due to the composition and lighting of its location as well as the symbol it represented of the hard New England maritime life.
