"The Plaza at 59th Street" is an impressionist painting by American artist Paul Cornoyer (1864–1923). This work is one of Cornoyer's many urban landscapes that capture the essence of New York City at the turn of the 20th century. Known for his adept use of light and atmospheric effects, Cornoyer's painting of the plaza reflects the influence of French Impressionism, which he embraced after studying in Paris during the late 1880s.

In "The Plaza at 59th Street," Cornoyer depicts a rainy day scene with figures carrying umbrellas, strolling along the wet sidewalks, and horse-drawn carriages navigating the thoroughfare. The painting is characterized by a muted palette, with subtle gradations of color that evoke the dampness and overcast sky of a rainy day in the city. The soft edges and the blurring of forms convey the moisture in the air and the haziness of the urban atmosphere.

Cornoyer's work often focused on the elegant neighborhoods of New York, and this painting is no exception. The Plaza area, adjacent to Central Park at 59th Street, was a fashionable district during the artist's time, and his portrayal of this locale captures the genteel ambiance of the period. The artist's interest in the effects of weather on the urban landscape is evident in the reflective surfaces of the wet pavement, which mirror the city's architecture and the silhouettes of its inhabitants.

"The Plaza at 59th Street" is a fine example of Cornoyer's contribution to American Impressionism and his dedication to capturing the changing urban environment of New York City. His paintings are celebrated for their ability to document the city's transformation during the Gilded Age while also conveying the transient beauty of everyday moments. This work is held in high regard for its historical value and artistic merit, offering viewers a glimpse into the past through the lens of Cornoyer's impressionistic style.
