Frost at Vétheuil (Le Givre), painted by Claude Monet in 1880, shows the frozen banks of the Seine wrapped in morning rime, with the bare silhouettes of trees dissolving into a pale, sun-warmed haze. Monet worked this frost effect near his home at Vétheuil during an unusually harsh winter, using soft pinks and blues to capture the low winter sun burning through frozen air. The muted, atmospheric palette marks one of his most delicate studies of light on snow and ice.
Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1880.
