The story of Gare Saint-Lazare

La Gare Saint-Lazare belongs to a series of twelve paintings of the Paris railway station that Monet made in the first months of 1877, his first series devoted to a single theme. He rented a studio near the station and obtained permission from the railway company to paint on the concourse and beside the tracks, finishing the canvases in his studio. Seven of the twelve pictures were shown at the Third Impressionist Exhibition in April 1877. The versions are now divided among museums including the Musée d'Orsay, the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Gallery in London and the Fogg Art Museum.

Claude Monet

Oscar-Claude Monet was a French painter and founder of Impressionism who is seen as a key precursor to modernism, especially in his attempts to paint nature as he perceived it. During his long career, he was the most consistent and prolific practitioner of Impressionism's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions of nature, especially as applied to plein air (outdoor) landscape painting. The term "Impressionism" is derived from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise, which was exhibited in 1874 at the First Impressionist Exhibition, initiated by Monet and a number of like-minded artists as an alternative to the Salon.
