"The Avenue in the Rain" is a 1917 oil painting by the American Impressionist artist Frederick Childe Hassam. This work is part of Hassam's flag series, a collection of paintings that prominently feature the American flag and reflect the artist's patriotic fervor during World War I. The painting depicts Fifth Avenue in New York City, shrouded in rain and adorned with numerous American flags, which flutter and drape in the wet atmosphere.

Measuring 42 inches by 22 inches, the vertical composition of "The Avenue in the Rain" captures a slice of the cityscape, focusing on the flags and the reflective, rain-slicked street. The scene is devoid of clear, individual figures, instead presenting an impression of bustling, anonymous city life. Hassam's use of quick, loose brushstrokes and a muted color palette, punctuated by the red, white, and blue of the flags, creates a dynamic and atmospheric effect that conveys both the motion of the city and the inclement weather.

Hassam's flag series, which includes over thirty works, was inspired by a "Preparedness Parade" (also known as "Flag Day") that he witnessed in May 1916. The series captures the patriotic sentiment of the time and serves as an artistic response to the political and social climate as the United States was on the brink of entering the First World War. "The Avenue in the Rain" stands out within this series as one of the most recognized and celebrated pieces, encapsulating the spirit of American resilience and unity.

The painting is held in the White House collection and has been displayed in the Oval Office by several U.S. Presidents, including Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Barack Obama, underscoring its significance as a symbol of American patriotism and its enduring relevance in the nation's political and cultural history.
