When Van Gogh was born in 1853, there was no train line between the Netherlands and Brussels. By the time he painted this, Europe was being rewired. He rode those trains. And he paid attention. The landscapes he saw ended up in his work, fields, skies. Here, the train is probably going to Paris. The line he used to visit his brother Theo. The horse-drawn carriage? Nobody knows where it's going. Probably not far.
