Excellent article and a jolly good read. Thanks

One wee point - I'm surprised that the author didn't mention the Dulwich Picture Gallery, a most impressive if small, museum, where I first became acquainted with Pissarro, one of my favourite painters. When I went, several years ago, they had several of his works, including Sydenham Hill.

Thanks for sharing. I trust, since you share my loves of art and railways, that you are familiar with Monet's series of paintings of Gare Saint-Lazare. I am fortunate to have seen many of them, and am fortunate that Boston, where I used to work has several Pissarro paintings at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
