Dewey's Arch by Paul Cornoyer is a painting that captures the temporary triumphal arch constructed at Madison Square in New York City to celebrate Admiral George Dewey's return from his victory at the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War in 1899. Cornoyer, an American impressionist painter known for his urban scenes, particularly of New York and St. Louis, depicted the arch in his characteristic soft, atmospheric style, which often featured a nuanced use of light and color.

The painting serves as a historical document of the time, showcasing the public's admiration for Dewey and the nation's post-war exuberance. It also reflects the influence of French Impressionism on American artists at the turn of the 20th century, a movement that Cornoyer embraced after studying in Paris. Dewey's Arch is a testament to Cornoyer's ability to blend impressionistic techniques with the American cityscape, creating evocative and enduring images of urban life.

In Dewey's Arch, Cornoyer's use of light and shadow, along with his loose brushwork, captures the ephemeral quality of the temporary structure, which was later demolished after the celebrations. The painting not only commemorates a significant event in American history but also illustrates the transient nature of the city's ever-changing landscape. It is a valuable piece of American art history that offers insight into the cultural and social milieu of New York City at the dawn of the 20th century.
