Madison Avenue at Twilight, c. 1911 - A Glimpse into the Rainy Night of Early 20th Century New York City
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment in time on Madison Avenue during twilight in the early 20th century. Painted by American artist Lovell Birge Harrison around 1911, this pastel drawing on brown paper beautifully depicts a rainy evening scene in New York City. As rain showers cascade down from the darkened sky, the city comes to life with illuminated skyscrapers and streetlights casting their warm glow upon wet pavements. The bustling urban atmosphere is evident as people go about their business, seeking shelter under umbrellas or hurrying along sidewalks. The artist skillfully portrays the receding view of Madison Avenue, creating a sense of depth and perspective that draws viewers into this wintry nocturnal scene. Despite adverse weather conditions, vehicles navigate through the damp streets while background figures add an element of human presence amidst natural phenomena. This fine art piece not only showcases Harrison's mastery of pastel drawing but also provides us with a glimpse into an era when electricity was transforming cities like New York into vibrant metropolises. It serves as a reminder of how our surroundings have evolved over time while highlighting the timeless beauty found within everyday moments. Mounted on paper and measuring approximately 81.5x61 cm, this artwork offers a unique window into history and invites contemplation about how our experiences with weather and urban environments have changed throughout the years.
