Railroad Sunset - Edward Hopper
Edward Hopper's Railroad Sunset depicts a twilight scene around a railway track, where the warm colours of the sky contrast with the cold industrial structures. The setting sun tints the sky with shades of orange, yellow and red. The rails, power poles and buildings in the background evoke a human presence, while at the same time emphasising the isolation inherent in these spaces.
The industrial structure is tempered by the subdued light that bathes the scene. In this work, Hopper manages to convey the melancholic beauty of industrial landscapes, harmoniously merging nature and human creations.
