Frost (Le Givre), c. 1880 by Claude Monet

Frost (Le Givre), painted by Claude Monet in 1880 depicts a hoarfrost-covered meadow along the Seine near Vétheuil beneath a pale, luminous winter sky, its thin, leafless poplars and low frozen reeds rendered in soft strokes of blue, pink, and white. Monet's attention centers on the fleeting chill of a winter morning, using closely related cool and warm tones to suggest the shimmer of frost rather than sharp detail. The canvas belongs to Monet's recurring winter landscapes painted along the Seine during his years at Vétheuil, in which he returned again and again to capture the delicate atmospheric effects of frost and snow across the changing seasons.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1880.
