"May Night" is an oil painting by American artist Willard Leroy Metcalf, completed in 1906. This work is notable for capturing the essence of the American Impressionist movement, to which Metcalf was a significant contributor. The painting depicts a spring evening at the artist's colony in Old Lyme, Connecticut, where Metcalf was an active member. The scene is illuminated by the soft glow of lanterns, which light up the porch of the Florence Griswold House, the central gathering place of the colony.

Measuring 26 1/4 x 29 inches (66.7 x 73.7 cm), "May Night" is celebrated for its atmospheric quality and the delicate handling of light, which creates a serene and contemplative mood. The work is a prime example of Metcalf's skill in blending naturalism with the loose brushwork and vibrant color palette characteristic of Impressionism. The painting's composition, with its focus on the interplay between artificial light and the encroaching dusk, showcases Metcalf's fascination with twilight scenes and his ability to convey the transient effects of light on the landscape.

"May Night" received critical acclaim when it was first exhibited, earning Metcalf the Corcoran Gold Medal in 1907. The painting is considered one of his masterpieces and remains an important piece in the history of American art. It is held in the collection of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, now part of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. "May Night" continues to be admired for its lyrical quality and as a quintessential example of American Impressionism at the turn of the 20th century.
