Description
Claude Monet was considered the master of Impressionist painting. While many of his works focused on natural settings, he created a unique twist on the traditional landscape with “The Train ” painted in 1872. This stunning piece of Impressionist art features a train running through the lower part of the painting. The rising steam and smoke create a sense of urgency and movement not found in many other works by Monet. However, this piece still captured a brief moment in time by showing the unique lighting from the sky and on the train’s surroundings. The muted tones add to a sense of industrial grittiness that makes this a stunning oil painting of trains.
