About the piece

Painted in 1908, 'Rain on the River' captures the gritty yet poetic atmosphere of the New York City waterfront. George Bellows utilizes the bold, gestural brushstrokes characteristic of the Ashcan School to render the heavy mist, the white steam of a passing train, and the damp textures of Riverside Park.
