[H2]A Masterpiece of Impressionism[/H2] [B]'The Railway'[/B], also known as Gare Saint-Lazare, is a stunning oil painting by the renowned French artist [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=edouard+manet,edouard,manet&']Edouard Manet[/A]. Created in 1873, this masterpiece is a perfect example of Impressionism, a revolutionary art movement that emerged in France during the mid-19th century. [H2]The Last Painting of Victorine Meurent[/H2] 'The Railway' is the last painting by Manet featuring his favourite model, the fellow painter [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=victorine+meurent,victorine,meurent&']Victorine Meurent[/A]. She was also the model for his earlier works Olympia and the Luncheon on the Grass. In this painting, Victorine is depicted sitting on a bench at the Gare Saint-Lazare railway station in Paris, lost in thought as she gazes out of the frame. [H2]Exhibited at the Paris Salon[/H2] 'The Railway' was exhibited at the prestigious Paris Salon in 1874, where it received mixed reviews from critics and the public. However, over time, it has become one of Manet's most celebrated works, admired for its innovative use of light and colour, as well as its evocative depiction of modern life. [H2]Donated to the National Gallery of Art[/H2] In 1956, 'The Railway' was donated to the [A href='https://ArtsDot.com/ADC/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=national+gallery+of+art,national,gallery&']National Gallery of Art[/A] in Washington, D.C., where it is now a beloved part of the museum's permanent collection.
