Exterior of the Gare Saint-Lazare, Arrival of a Train (Extérieur de la gare Saint-Lazare, arrivée d’un train), 1877 by Claude Monet

Exterior of the Gare Saint-Lazare, Arrival of a Train, painted by Claude Monet in 1877, captures a steam locomotive emerging from billowing clouds of white smoke beneath the iron and glass canopy of the Parisian station. Silhouetted figures and carriages move through the haze as sunlight filters down in soft, atmospheric tones of grey and blue. The work belongs to Monet’s celebrated series of twelve Gare Saint-Lazare paintings, exhibited at the Third Impressionist Exhibition in 1877.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1877.
