Arrival of the Normandy Train, Gare Saint-Lazare
Claude Monet (1877)
oil on canvas
Claude Monet's Arrival of the Normandy Train, Gare Saint-Lazare brilliantly captures the energy of modern Paris, transforming the industrial train station into a dynamic Impressionist study. The canvas is dominated by thick, fluid brushstrokes, rendering the billowing clouds of steam and smoke, which both obscure and illuminate the immense iron-and-glass roof. This pioneering work is a visual poem that immortalizes the sensory experience of the new, mechanized world.
