One of the less finished paintings of the group, it is the most freely painted of the four pictures Monet made within the station itself. He positioned himself at the terminus of one of the main lines, looking across the platforms. In the foreground two locomotives are swathed in steam and surrounded by passengers probably waiting to board.
The dark angular lines of the roof’s girders contrast with the random patterns formed by the vapour and smoke. By including the closed roof at the top of the picture, Monet has turned the conventions of landscape upside down – the light and clouds associated with an open sky are contained inside a distinctly modern structure made of glass and iron.
