"The Plaza at 59th Street" is a notable painting by American artist Paul Cornoyer (1864–1923), who was celebrated for his impressionistic urban landscapes that capture the essence of turn-of-the-century American cities, particularly New York. This artwork is a quintessential example of Cornoyer's fascination with the atmospheric effects of light and weather in urban settings, and it showcases his adeptness at blending impressionism with a more traditional, detailed approach to cityscapes.

The painting depicts a rainy day at the Grand Army Plaza, located at the southeastern corner of Central Park in Manhattan, near 59th Street, a location that has inspired numerous artists with its dynamic urban beauty and historical significance. Cornoyer's work is characterized by a muted palette and a focus on the interplay of light and shadow, which imbues the scene with a sense of moodiness and ephemeral beauty. The soft, diffused light filtering through the overcast sky and the reflections on the wet pavement are rendered with a delicate touch that is typical of Cornoyer's best works.

Paul Cornoyer's interest in urban scenes was partly influenced by his time in Paris, where he was exposed to French impressionism and the works of the Barbizon School. After returning to the United States, he settled in New York City, where he became a key figure in the city's art scene, capturing its parks, plazas, and bustling streets with a poetic sensibility that set his work apart from that of his contemporaries.

"The Plaza at 59th Street" not only serves as a historical snapshot of New York City at the turn of the 20th century but also exemplifies Cornoyer's skill in conveying the atmospheric conditions and the vibrancy of city life. Through this painting, Cornoyer invites viewers to experience the quiet, reflective moments that can be found amidst the hustle and bustle of urban existence, making it a significant piece in the oeuvre of an artist who excelled at finding beauty in the everyday.
