Train in the Snow or The Locomotive 1875

Claude Monet's "Train in the Snow" (1875), also known as "The Locomotive," captures the fleeting moment of a steam train passing through a snowy landscape. The Impressionist artist masterfully uses brushstrokes to depict the atmospheric effects of the steam and the cold winter air, creating a sense of motion and blur. Monet's depiction of the train as a powerful force in the natural world highlights the rapid changes brought about by industrialization in 19th-century France. The painting is housed in the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris, France.
