Carriage theme in painting

The carriage theme can be distinguished as a separate genre of painting. It would seem that what interesting things can be seen in a coupe, reserved seat or train? If you are going on a business trip or are tired from the dacha, then maybe nothing. But that’s why nature has endowed artists with the gift, so that they notice the beauty in little things and show it to us.

Trains are an endless source of inspiration for artists, poets, writers and filmmakers. In the carriage you can meet a variety of people and learn a lot of interesting things. The “random fellow traveler syndrome” works and people relax, behave naturally and are prone to revelations.

And besides this, where else can you watch a person for hours without causing him irritation or fright? Only in a compartment, reserved seat or train. Traveling by train is also the romance of wandering. Constantly changing views outside the window, the measured sound of wheels, twilight and tea in the cup holders. That is why the carriage theme in painting is so well developed.
