Steam and light fill the vaulted train shed at Gare Saint-Lazare

A dark green locomotive stands at the platform beneath an arched glass-and-iron train shed, its smokestack releasing a plume of white steam that mingles with hazy blue light. Waiting passengers and railway workers cluster along the tracks and platform edge, rendered as small dabs of black, red and blue. A gas lamp stands in the foreground beside the rails. The canvas is signed and dated 'Claude Monet 77' at lower left.

Claude Monet (1840–1926) gave Impressionism its name and its longest career. From the 1870s he painted outdoors in the Seine valley and on the Normandy coast, pursuing the changing light of a single motif in series — haystacks, poplars, Rouen Cathedral, the Thames — and from 1890 the garden he built at Giverny, whose water lilies occupied his last twenty-five years. His paintings are held by the Musée d'Orsay, the Musée Marmottan Monet, the National Gallery in London and the Art Institute of Chicago.
