I decided to look through the works of Monet, and found that he was spending time at a train station, and did a couple paintings there of the steam locomotives, because he had just moved into an apartment nearby
The Gare Saint-Lazare: Arrival of a Train’ painted in 1877 is considered to be one of the iconic Monet painting because here the artist depicts signs of industrial revolution – an event that forever changed European society and was the cause of fundamental changes in all aspects of European life, including the arts.
This is the largest of the 12 paintings Monet created that year, and while the subject remains unchanged throughout the series, the light, the angle and the palette he used vary greatly with each painting.

WOW! I never saw a Monet in which he depicts machinery. Great find and thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou're so welcome! I was wondering, as I had an Art Class teacher that did NO art history that I can remember (all 4 years of high school and several in grade school) I didn't ever see the works of Monet. Or, for that matter, most any other artists that are world class famous. I've learned a lot in the past 20 years though, as art has always been one of the most enjoyable things to dive into
