"A Rainy Day in Camp" (also known as "Camp near Yorktown") is an 1871 oil painting by celebrated American artist Winslow Homer. Recognized for his significant contributions to the American realism genre, Homer illustrates a moment of daily life during the American Civil War in which are halted by a downpour at their camp near Yorktown, Virginia.

The painting, measuring 24 by 38 inches, showcases Homer's vivid interpretation of the war. Contrary to most his contemporaries focusing on battlefield scenes, Homer instead emphasizes daily events, capturing a soldier's life's more mundane, though no less challenging, aspects.

In "A Rainy Day in Camp," the viewer's attention is drawn towards three Union soldiers situated under a tent to shelter from the rain. Each represents a distinctive comportment towards the adverse weather, symbolizing the diverse experiences and emotions amongst soldiers during war. Various objects scatter in the foreground, including handguns, canteens, and the American flag, providing deeper context and reinforcing the wartime setting.

A strikingly unique aspect is Homer's illustration of the rain itself. The thick, slanted strokes deliver the intensity of the downpour and its hampers on the soldiers' daily routine. This method further reflects Homer's ability to utilize weather as a tool for narrative, a recurring motif in many of his works.

"A Rainy Day in Camp" is recognized today as part of the American Art collection at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. It exemplifies Homer's unique vision of the Civil War, emphasizing the shared human experience amidst the conflict, making it an indispensable piece of American art history.
