Washington Arch, Spring 

Childe Hassam's "Washington Arch, Spring" captures the vibrant atmosphere of New York City in the early 20th century. The iconic Washington Arch, a symbol of the city's grandeur, is framed by lush greenery and a bustling street scene, showcasing the artist's signature Impressionistic style. The dappled sunlight, vibrant colors, and loose brushstrokes create a sense of movement and immediacy, capturing the fleeting beauty of spring. The scene is populated with elegantly dressed pedestrians, carriages, and a street sweeper, adding a touch of everyday life to this iconic landmark. This painting is a testament to Hassam's ability to transform the ordinary into something extraordinary, celebrating the everyday life of the bustling metropolis.
