Manet, Monet, and the Gare Saint-Lazare

Juliet Wilson Bareau; Juliet Wilson-Bareau

Synopsis:
Edouard Manet's "Gare Saint-Lazare", a painting he exhibited as "Le Chemin de fer (The Railway)", has always intrigued as much as it has delighted critics, scholars, and the art-loving public....Symbolizing energy and progress, the railroad became a focus for Manet, Monet, Caillebotte, and many other artists in the decades after the Franco-Prussian War and the Commune. Based on new research into the street and studios of Paris, this book identifies the precise site of Manet's picture, painted shortly after his move to a new studio.
