    I always get a sense of nostalgia when I look at this painting, as if I'm getting a glimpse into someone's memory of a bright morning long ago as they wait to board a train that will take them to their weekend sojourn; a sense of marvel at the modernity that is metropolitan Paris, layered with a tinge of wistfulness.

    I always believe that these train station works are the best display of Monet’s talent. Thick chocking smoke, monstrous black iron, heavy lifeless machines that could not be remotely linked to beauty by anyone becomes so beautiful under his brushes.

    Wow, I just came back from seeing an exhibition of Impressionist works from the Musee d'Orsay at my local art gallery and this video shows up in my subs! I have to say of all the artists at the exhibition Monet's work was by far the best, and my favourite work was 'A Corner of the Apartment' or 'The Magpie'.

    What a difference almost a decade makes. This painting is totally changed for me. I love seeing the textured paint this time.
    I also loved the commentary about the human figure being subservient to light and color - equal with everything else on the canvas. I'm still wrapping my head around the objectives and merits of Impressionism, but it's interesting to learn about thus far.

    Another great video. And how amazing it is that Monet painted machines and architecture at all when we look back from the decades of his final nature paintings.
