## Image Caption

An 1877 oil on canvas, *Gare Saint-Lazare*, by [Claude Monet](https://www.worldhistory.org/Claude_Monet/) (1840-1926), the French impressionist painter. Fascinated by the play of light on steam and industrial [architecture](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/architecture/), Monet painted a whole series of canvases on trains and stations. Given permission to paint in [Paris](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/paris/)' Saint-Lazare station, he even had the train delayed for this painting until he was satisfied with the light conditions. (Musée d'Orsay, Paris)
