"Washington Square, New York, c.1900" is a painting by the American artist Paul Cornoyer (1864–1923), who was known for his impressionistic urban scenes that often captured the atmospheric effects of weather and light in city environments. This particular work depicts Washington Square Park, a prominent landmark in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, around the turn of the 20th century.

The painting is characterized by Cornoyer's soft brushwork and subtle use of color, which conveys the misty or hazy quality of the city atmosphere, a hallmark of his impressionistic style. The composition likely features the park's well-known arch, the Washington Square Arch, which was erected in 1892 to celebrate the centennial of George Washington's inauguration as President of the United States. The arch would have been a relatively new addition to the landscape at the time Cornoyer painted the scene.

Cornoyer's work captures the everyday life of New Yorkers during this period, with figures strolling through the park or sitting on benches, surrounded by the burgeoning cityscape. The painting serves as a historical document, reflecting the urban changes and the social dynamics of New York City at the dawn of the 20th century.

As an artist, Paul Cornoyer trained at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts and later in Paris, where he was influenced by the French Impressionists. After returning to the United States, he settled in New York City, where he became part of the art scene and was associated with the Ashcan School, a group of artists who sought to portray the gritty reality of urban life. However, Cornoyer's work is often distinguished from the Ashcan School by his more poetic and atmospheric approach to cityscapes.

"Washington Square, New York, c.1900" is a testament to Cornoyer's ability to blend the impressionistic techniques he learned in France with his own American sensibilities, creating serene and evocative urban scenes that offer a glimpse into the past. The painting is an important piece within Cornoyer's oeuvre and contributes to the broader narrative of American art at the turn of the century, where artists were exploring new ways of seeing and representing the rapidly changing urban environment.
