The Pont de l'Europe, Gare Saint-Lazare 1877

Claude Monet’s "The Pont de l'Europe, Gare Saint-Lazare" (1877) depicts the bustling Gare Saint-Lazare train station in Paris. This Impressionist painting captures the fleeting moments of a train’s departure, with billowing smoke and steam enveloping the scene. The blurred forms and vibrant colors create a dynamic sense of movement, characteristic of Monet's style. The painting is currently housed in the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris.
