After
his
return
to
France
from
London,
Monet
lived
from
1871-78
at
Argenteuil,
on
the
Seine
near
Paris.
In
January
1877
he
rented
a
small
flat
and
a
studio
near
the
Gare
St-Lazare,
and
in
the
third
Impressionist
exhibition
which
opened
in
April
of
that
year,
he
exhibited
seven
canvases
of
the
railway
station.
This
painting
is
one
of
four
surviving
canvases
representing
the
interior
of
the
station.
Trains
and
railways
had
been
depicted
in
earlier
Impressionist
works
(and
by
Turner
in
his
'Rain,
Steam
and
Speed'),
but
were
not
generally
regarded
as
aesthetically
palatable
subjects.
Monet's
exceptional
views
of
the
Gare
St-Lazare
resemble
interior
landscapes,
with
smoke
from
the
engines
creating
the
same
effect
as
clouds
in
the
sky.
Swift
brushstrokes
indicate
the
gleaming
engines
to
the
right
and
the
crowd
of
passengers
on
the
platform.-from,
