赏析：苏格兰一条连接几个小镇的小支流（全长约1公里），火车头喷着蒸汽从左侧离去，扬起的白烟与灯光、月光、云层混合为夜晚的薄雾，光线通过水面反射穿过桥洞，河岸停靠的小船若隐若现。
Waller Hugh Paton was a Scottish-born landscape painter who was based in Edinburgh for most of his career. Like all artists of his generation, he experienced the transformation of Britain wrought by the Industrial Revolution. In this view of the town of Paisley, Scotland, a steam locomotive pulls a string of freight cars across the new railway bridge. Paisley’s mills took cotton imported from the slave-based plantations in the American South and wove it into textiles printed with the popular Paisley pattern, a design that originated in Mughal India, then under British rule. This painting romanticizes and celebrates the urban industrial landscape, giving a sublime grandeur to a railway bridge at dusk with steam and gas lamps enhancing the drama of the scene.
