Rue de la Paix, Rain 

"Rue de la Paix, Rain" is a painting by French artist Edouard Cortes (1882-1969) depicting a bustling Parisian street scene in the rain. The painting captures the vibrant atmosphere of the city, with people rushing about under umbrellas, horse-drawn carriages traversing the wet cobblestones, and shop windows reflecting the dim gaslight. The artist's use of loose brushstrokes and a palette of blues, grays, and yellows creates a sense of movement and atmospheric depth, characteristic of Impressionism.
