Railway Bridge at Argenteuil
By Monet

Railway Bridge At Argenteuil

Oil on canvas, 1873
54 x 71 cm (21 x 28 ins)

In this painting, Railway Bridge at Argenteuil, Monet portrays the solid iron and stone structure of the bridge and the steam of the partly obscured locomotive as elements in a decorative composition based on triangular masses, confirming also his consummate ability to depict sky and water.

During his period of residence at Argenteuil, Monet painted the road and rail bridges on many occasions. The railway was a relatively new phenomenon to artists of Monet’s generation and provided a symbol of the modern age.

Monet has used the bulk of the railway bridge to give weight to the picture, making a striking contrast with the peaceful river flowing beneath. He also used to great effect the way in which the light filtered through the train’s steam and smoke.
