In this artwork, how is the Provenance of the Interpretation and reception elucidated?
The Train in the Snow was purchased from Monet by Doctor Georges de Bellio. De Bellio urged Monet to sell it to him or keep it himself as he was afraid that the painting would "fall into the hands of a fool." After his successful purchase, the doctor loaned The Train in the Snow to a Monet exhibition at the Galerie Durand-Ruel in 1883, where it attracted much positive attention from critics. In 1940, the painting was donated to the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris by Bellio's daughter and son-in-law, Victorine and Don Eugene Donop de Monchy, where it remains today.
