The largest and busiest train station in Paris is an important part of Monet's series on the icons of modernity. Legend says he had the locomotives stoked with extra coal to give the dramatic effect of belching steam. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. The replica 4.375" wide, European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding.
