Railway Bridge at Argenteuil (Railroad) (by Monet) Skateboard

This design features an image of a painting by French impressionist artist Claude Monet (1840–1926). It shows a steam train crossing a railway bridge at Argenteuil, which is located on the River Seine, nine kilometers to the north-west of Paris, France; in fact, Monet rented a house there in 1871 soon after his return to France after the Franco-Prussian War. The railway bridge was modern in Monet's time, made from steel and concrete; it can be seen as a symbol of technological progress. This painting was completed in 1873, and it is housed in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris, France.
