About The Avenue in the Rain

“The Avenue in the Rain,” created by Childe Hassam in 1917, is an impressionist cityscape painting that resides in the White House, Washington, DC, US.

The artwork prominently features a series of American flags lining an avenue, rendered in a palette dominated by blue and red hues. The flags appear to ripple majestically in the wind while being reflected on the wet pavement below, indicating recent rain. Hassam’s brushstrokes create a sense of movement and luminosity, capturing the ephemeral effects of light and weather. The cityscape, with blurred outlines and dynamic forms, evokes a patriotic atmosphere amidst the backdrop of a rain-soaked urban setting.
