Robert Hamman was one of the first artists to see his hometown of San Antonio, Texas through romantic eyes. To this day, he paints his local landmarks like the Riverwalk, the Missions, and the Spanish Governor's Palace with soft edges and glowing colors. The influence of both American and French impressionists is evident in Hamman's work.
