About this work

Artist: Claude Monet (1840–1926)
Year: 1877
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 60.3 × 80.2 cm
Collection: Art Institute of Chicago
Movement: Impressionism
Series: Gare Saint-Lazare series

A locomotive from Normandy pulls in beneath the iron and glass shed of the Gare Saint-Lazare, its steam and smoke billowing up to the roof while passengers wait on the platform. Monet painted the station from inside in 1877, one of twelve canvases of the subject and one of eight he showed at the third Impressionist exhibition that April. The choice was pointed: industrial Paris, not a riverbank, was the modern subject, and Saint-Lazare was the terminal that linked the city to Normandy, where he had learned to paint outdoors, and to the suburban towns the Impressionists favoured. The canvas is signed and dated 1877 at the lower left. It was bought by Ernest Hoschedé the year it was made and reached the Art Institute of Chicago through the bequest of the collector Martin A. Ryerson in 1932.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Arrival of the Normandy Train, Gare Saint-Lazare in the public domain?

Yes. Claude Monet (1840–1926) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Art Institute of Chicago.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Arrival of the Normandy Train, Gare Saint-Lazare painted, and in what medium?

Arrival of the Normandy Train, Gare Saint-Lazare dates from 1877 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 60.3 × 80.2 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
