Description
This evocative Richard Macneil print captures the allure of New York in rainy weather. Silhouetted people scurry as the rain falls down Fifth Avenue, lined with yellow taxi cabs, creating colourful reflections as skyscrapers draw the eye upwards. The print has a metallic frame and arrives ready to hang on your wall. Richard Macneil is a self-taught artist who has worked in the fields of sculpture, ceramics and graphics both in the UK and internationally. He founded the Macneil Studio in 2009 with his wife and sons. He spent a long time working in the USA and one of his greatest achievements was seeing his artwork in the Oval Office in The White House. Returning to Worcestershire, England, where he was born and bred, Richard has worked on developing his unique style with a vision to create 'art that appeals to and is accessible to all'. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this print for adding a touch of urban sophistication to a range of interiors. Its vibrant depiction of New York rain on Fifth Avenue works especially well in contemporary or industrial spaces, where the bold cityscape can complement sleek furniture and minimalist decor. The large size and metallic frame make it a real statement piece that can anchor a feature wall or be a focal point in a living room or home office. To style it effectively, pair it with neutral tones and textured fabrics to balance the vivid scene, and consider placing it above a console or sofa to really draw the eye. It’s perfect for creating a modern, energetic vibe, especially if you love cityscapes or urban art.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
