Frost near Vétheuil (Le Givre), 1880 by Claude Monet

Frost near Vétheuil, painted by Claude Monet in 1880 captures the pale, crystalline stillness of a winter morning on the banks of the Seine near Vétheuil. Bare trees and frost-whitened fields dissolve into a cold, hazy sky, rendered in the delicate, muted brushwork Monet developed during this uniquely severe winter. The painting belongs to a series he made following the harsh freeze of 1879 to 1880, among the most quietly atmospheric works of his Vétheuil years.

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