Further details

Surplombant la gare Saint-Lazare à Paris, le pont de l'Europe fut abondamment représenté par les artistes impressionnistes: Monet et Caillebotte le dépeignent, dès 1876-77, dans de nombreuses œuvres. Monet, père de l’impressionnisme, peint une douzaine de tableaux sur ce sujet et présente une première version lors de la troisième exposition impressionniste. Caillebotte, quant à lui, fasciné par ce sujet, acheta trois variations de Monet sur le thème de la gare. Nul doute que ce sujet éminemment impressionniste et moderne ait également fasciné Louis Anquetin, comme en témoigne le présent pastel, exécuté en 1889.
Outre son sujet, la présente œuvre est également intéressante de par sa provenance. L’œuvre a en effet appartenu à Eugène Boch, artiste et mécène belge, qui collectionna notamment des œuvres de Cézanne et échangeant des œuvres avec Van Gogh. Ce dernier réalisa le fameux Portrait d'Eugène Boch ou Le Peintre aux étoiles, 1888 (Paris, Musée d'Orsay).

Overlooking the Saint-Lazare train station in Paris, the Pont de l'Europe was often painted by Impressionist artists, including Monet and Caillebotte, who depicted it in many works dating from 1876-77. Monet, the father of Impressionism, painted a dozen pictures on the subject and presented a first version at the third Impressionist exhibition. Caillebotte, for his part, was fascinated by the subject and even bought three of Monet's variations on the theme of this train station. No doubt this eminently Impressionist and modern subject also fascinated Louis Anquetin, as can be seen from the present pastel, executed in 1889.
In addition to its subject, this work's provenance is also worth mentioning. It belonged to Eugène Boch, a Belgian artist and patron of the arts who collected works by Cézanne and exchanged works with Van Gogh. Van Gogh painted the famous Portrait d’Eugène Boch ou Le Peintre aux étoiles, 1888 (Paris, Musée d'Orsay).
