Rainy Day, Fifth Avenue 1916

Childe Hassam's 1916 painting, "Rainy Day, Fifth Avenue," depicts a bustling New York City street scene. The Impressionistic painting features a street filled with people walking under umbrellas, their forms blurred by the rain and the artist's loose brushwork. Two large American flags hang from buildings in the upper left corner, adding a patriotic touch to the composition. The light and airy color palette creates a sense of movement and energy, capturing the essence of a rainy day in the city. The artwork is known for its unique perspective of urban life in the early 20th century.
