# La gare de l'Est sous la neige

By [Maximilien Luce](<https://art.jpamorgan.com/artists/maximilien-luce.md>), 1917.

Soldiers and civilians move through a monumental view of the Gare de l'Est under heavy snow. Luce sets wartime movement and waiting beneath weather that seems indifferent to the human drama.
