Train in the Snow

The Train in the Snow, or Le train dans la neige, is a landscape painting by the French Impressionist artist Claude Monet. The work depicts a train surrounded by snow at the Argenteuil station in France. Art historians see the work as a significant example of Monet's efforts to integrate nature and industry in his work. Many historians believe that Monet, out of all of the notable nineteenth century artists, made the most paintings of trains in his lifetime.

Art historians typically emphasize the dividing lines of the piece created by the fence, trees, and tracks as well as the dark smoke produced by the locomotive. However, these historians derive different meanings from the painting, though they overall reference themes of industry and motion. Scholars also note the important connections between Monet's painting and contemporary works of literature, particularly those of Emile Zola.
