The railway station, Redfern
1893
Arthur Streeton masterfully captures the slick, rain-soaked chaos of 1890s Sydney in this bustling scene. You can almost feel the damp chill as horse-drawn cabs splash through puddles and commuters huddle under umbrellas, all reflected in the shimmering, wet pavement. In the background, a steam train puffs away from the Redfern station, blending the gritty industrial age with the soft, hazy light that made the Australian Impressionists so famous.
