"April Showers, Champs Elysées, Paris 1888" is a notable painting by the American Impressionist artist Childe Hassam (1859–1935). Created during Hassam's sojourn in Paris, the work exemplifies his engagement with the Impressionist movement, which he encountered firsthand while studying in France from 1886 to 1889. The painting captures a quintessential Parisian scene, depicting the famed Champs Elysées avenue during a spring shower.

Measuring 26 1/4 x 32 1/4 inches (66.7 x 81.9 cm), the oil on canvas painting is a part of Hassam's broader body of work that reflects his fascination with urban landscapes and the changing effects of light and weather. In "April Showers, Champs Elysées, Paris 1888," Hassam employs quick, loose brushstrokes and a muted palette to convey the damp atmosphere and the glistening wet surfaces of the cityscape. The artist's use of diffused light and his attention to the reflections on the rain-soaked street are characteristic of the Impressionist technique, which sought to capture the transient moments of everyday life.

The composition features pedestrians with umbrellas, horse-drawn carriages, and the budding trees of early spring, all shrouded in the misty, ephemeral quality of the rain. Hassam's work not only reflects the influence of French Impressionism but also anticipates his later contributions to American Impressionism upon his return to the United States. "April Showers, Champs Elysées, Paris 1888" is celebrated for its atmospheric quality and its depiction of modern life in the city, themes that would continue to resonate throughout Hassam's artistic career.

The painting is a testament to Hassam's skill in capturing the essence of a place and moment, and it remains an important example of the cultural exchange between American artists and the European avant-garde of the late 19th century. "April Showers, Champs Elysées, Paris 1888" is held in high regard by art historians and collectors alike and continues to be exhibited in prominent museums, contributing to the legacy of Childe Hassam as one of America's foremost Impressionist painters.
