OIL PAINTING: The Railroad Station at Argenteuil , 1872
Monet's paintings from the 1870s reveal the major tenets of the impressionist vision. Along with Impression: Sunrise, The Railroad Station at Argenteuil is an outstanding example of the new style. In these paintings impressionism is essentially an illusionist style, albeit one that looks radically different from the landscapes of the Old Masters. The difference resides primarily in the chromatic vibrancy of Monet's canvases.
