6/21/2023 0 Comments The railway manetAlthough, Manet was never officially associated with the Impressionist group, this work’s execution as well as the subject reveal that the Impressionists had some influence on him. However, the artist received critical reviews for the canvas as it appeared unfinished and the rail station was not well-defined in the composition. It was accepted along with another watercolor painting. Manet submitted The Railway to the Paris Salon of 1874. ![]() Édouard Manet, The Railway, 1873, National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, USA. In the background, we can see modern apartment buildings including the house on the Rue de Saint-Pétersbourg, near the Place de l’Europe, where Manet had rented a studio since July 1872 – and also a signal box and the Pont de l’Europe famously depicted by Gustave Caillebotte. The only evidence of the train and the train station itself is a white cloud of steam. The dog may be a reference to Titian’s Venus of Urbino Manet had earlier echoed Titian’s composition in his Olympia. ![]() Resting on a parapet to the right of the painting is a bunch of grapes, perhaps indicating that the painting was made in the autumn. Maybe she is a 19th-century young trainspotter? The black band in the girl’s hair echoes the black band around the neck of the woman. A little girl next to her is wearing a contrast white dress with large blue bow, standing her back to the viewer, watching through the railings as a train passes beneath them. The pensive subject is wearing a dark hat and navy blue dress with white details and is looking towards the viewer, while a sleeping puppy, a fan and an open book rest in her lap. The woman is Victorine Meurent, also a painter and Manet’s favorite model in the 1860s who appeared also in his Olympia and the Luncheon on the Grass, and the child is the daughter of a fellow painter and neighbor Alphonse Hirsch, who allowed Manet to use his garden to create The Railway. The main subject of the piece is the woman with a child.
