## Caption

"Way down below the level road on which I stood, way on the opposite side of the river, Pittsburgh lies a dark, low mass, hemmed in by its rivers, lorded by its hills; in the hallow the smoke hangs so dense often I could not see the city at all, but once in a while a breeze falls on the town, and the great white skyscapers come forth from the thick, black cloud and the effect is glorious—the glorification of Work, for Pittsburgh is the work-city of the world." - Joseph Pennell

In Monet and the Modern City, we explore the enduring theme of industry in art through works by Monet, Pissarro, Whistler, and others. In today's #MonetWeek post, we're highlighting illustrator Joseph Pennell, who was fascinated with the thriving industry and modern marvels of engineering at the turn of the 20th century.
