Red Houses at Bjørnegaard in the Snow, Norway (Maisons rouges à Bjørnegaard, Norvège), 1895 by Claude Monet

Red Houses at Bjørnegaard in the Snow, Norway (Maisons rouges à Bjørnegaard, Norvège), painted by Claude Monet in 1895 sets a cluster of deep red farmhouses against a broad sweep of fresh snow beneath a pale, overcast sky. Monet painted the scene during his winter visit to Norway, where he stayed near Sandvika and was captivated by the snowbound light and color of the region. Rapid, broken brushwork gives the drifts their weight and movement, capturing the fleeting cold atmosphere that drew him to these northern motifs.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1895.
