A vibrant and nostalgic oil on canvas painting by artist Robert Lebrone, where he captures a lively 20th Century winter evening street scene in near the Flatiron Building in New York City. Lebrone was an impressionist painter known for his colorful cityscapes depicting the times of his generation. His work is comparable to that of Jules Herve, Antoine Blanchard, and Edouard Cortes. This painting is a wonderful example of his work from the prime of his career. Here you see figures dashing across the street with cars and buses by the iconic "Flatiron Building" at nighttime in the snow. It evokes the bustling energy of the era when horse-drawn carriages, trolleys, and pedestrians shared the snowy streets. The wide, snow-covered Fifth Avenue is flanked by the iconic Flatiron Building, imposing brownstone and brick buildings that rise dramatically into a moody, glowing twilight sky. The buildings feature the classic early skyscraper elements, including the rows of illuminated windows, ornate cornices, and domed or flat rooftops. The street lamps are depicted with bright orange globes, casting a cozy, golden light that contrasts beautifully with the cool blues and whites of the winter atmosphere. The details are magnificent as Lebrone captures the architecture of New York City so beautifully; you can feel the energy of the day and the excitement. The painting is signed lower right and has the artist's stamp on verso. It comes housed in an ornate gold tone frame with linen liner and golden lip, and hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed.
