Title
English: Smokey City
Description
English:

A painting that depicts a town with colorful facades of buildings being covered by smoke. There is a railroad that runs next to the town and a river that runs on the other side of the town. In the distance there are chimneys from factories that are billowing smoke and some flames burning from the smoke stacks.

"Smokey City" by Fritz Thaulow is an interpretation of industrial Pittsburgh. Thaulow highlights the importance of the train and the mill, as well as the working class neighborhoods that many of the factory employees came from. This painting was a gift to President Roosevelt from Henry Clay Frick in 1902. TR described Thaulow as a "Scandanavian artist who could see the fierce picturesqueness of workaday Pittsburg." This painting hangs above the piano in the North Room in the Theodore Roosevelt Home.
