Nighthawks (Hopper)

Nighthawks is a 1942 oil on canvas painting by the American artist Edward Hopper that portrays four people in a downtown diner late at night, as viewed through the diner's large glass window. The light coming from the diner illuminates a darkened and deserted urban streetscape. The painting has been described as Hopper's best-known work and is one of the most recognizable paintings in American art. Classified as part of the American Realism movement, within months of its completion, it was sold to the Art Institute of Chicago for $3,000 (equivalent to $59,110 in 2025).
