Train paintings or railway paintings appear in the 19th century during the industrial revolution with the development of railway lines. These then carry with them a new imagination combining technology and travel through works where time seems to have been suspended. Stations, rails, locomotives, wagons, convoys ... are the motifs commonly represented in train paintings. But these can also focus on representing more intimate moments of life, such as the representation of passengers waiting for the train on the terminal platform, or observing the landscape through the glass of their vans ... Among the famous railway paintings we can cite The Last Spike by Thomas Hill, Le Night Train by Paul Delvaux or The irritating gentleman by Berthold Woltze.

Notable contemporary Train Paintings
Contemporary train paintings are a testament to the enduring fascination people have with locomotives. Artists have captured the beauty and power of these machines in many ways, using different styles and techniques.
One of the most well-known contemporary train paintings is "The City" by David Hockney. Created in 1989, this vibrant artwork depicts a colorful train passing through a cityscape. The bright colors and bold lines give the painting a sense of movement and energy, capturing the excitement of train travel.
Another notable train painting is "Train Station" by Edward Hopper. Painted in 1925, this work shows a deserted train station at night. The eerie lighting and empty platform create a sense of isolation and loneliness, highlighting the alienation of modern life.
In "The Great American West" by Howard Terpning, we see a train crossing a vast expanse of prairie. Created in 2004, this painting captures the majesty of the American West and the role that trains played in its development.
