Am Bahnhof Friedrichstraße 1888

"Am Bahnhof Friedrichstraße," painted by Lesser Ury in 1888, captures a bustling scene at the Friedrichstraße train station in Berlin. Ury’s signature Impressionistic style is evident in the loose brushstrokes and focus on light and atmosphere. The scene is painted with a muted palette dominated by grays and blues, with the contrast of white snow and the light of streetlamps creating a sense of depth and drama. The artwork captures the energy and movement of a busy train station, where people are arriving and departing, carriages are waiting, and the steam from the engines fills the air.
