Lordship Lane Station, Dulwich is an 1871 landscape painting by the French artist Camille Pissarro. ^[1] It depicts a view of Lordship Lane railway station in East Dulwich, which had opened six years earlier. Pissarro, a noted impressionist, was in London following the outbreak of the Franco Prussian War. The work may have been inspired by J.M.W. Turner's 1844 Rain, Steam and Speed – The Great Western Railway , which was on display at the National Gallery during Pissaro's stay in London. ^[2]

Today the painting is in the Courtauld Gallery, having been acquired in 1948. ^[3]
