Railway Carriages

"Railway Carriages", painted in 1888, offers a glimpse into the burgeoning age of transportation. This captivating piece, currently residing in the Musée Angladon, measures 0.5 meters wide by 0.45 meters tall. The artist skillfully uses diagonal train tracks to draw our eyes deep into the scene, almost feeling the train rush past us, leaving a wisp of smoke in its wake. Notice the vibrant green sky, punctuated by streaks of yellow and blue, hinting at a partly cloudy day. The artist's bold brushstrokes and vivid colors breathe life and energy into this snapshot of a moment in time.
