# Allies Day, May 1917 [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [HASSAM, Childe]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 93 x 77 cm ## Commentary Hassam painted a series of paintings in the second decade of the twentieth century which document his patriotic feelings during the First World War. The pictures, such as the Allies Day, May 1917, transform the flagged buildings of New York into a sea of fluttering colour. In some degree Hassam's painting was inspired by <a onclick="return OpenOther\('/html/m/monet/04/paris4.html'\)" href="/html/m/monet/04/paris4.html">Monet's Rue Saint-Denis in Paris, Celebration of 30 June 1878.</a> ## Related artworks - [A Shower.
