Nocturne, Hyde Park Corner 1898

Childe Hassam's *Nocturne, Hyde Park Corner* (1898) is a painting that captures the ethereal atmosphere of a London street scene at dusk. The work is characterized by a hazy, luminous quality, with the soft light of the setting sun casting a pale blue hue over the cityscape. Through loose brushstrokes and a focus on the play of light and shadow, Hassam creates a sense of motion and transience, evocative of the fleeting nature of the urban experience.
