Boulevard Saint-Denis, Argenteuil, in Winter (Boulevard Saint-Denis, Argenteuil, effet de neige), c. 1875 by Claude Monet

Boulevard Saint-Denis, Argenteuil, in Winter, painted by Claude Monet in 1875, captures a blustery snowstorm sweeping across the boulevard near Monet’s home, where bundled figures trudge along a snow-covered path toward the railway station as a weak sun struggles through the wet winter sky. One of some eighteen snow scenes Monet painted during the severe winter of 1874-75, the work’s multi-directional composition and reflective, wind-driven snow show the Impressionists’ fascination with fleeting atmospheric effects.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1875.
