Road to Louveciennes, Melting Snow, Sunset (Route à Louveciennes, Neige Fondante, Soleil Couchant), c. 1869-70 by Claude Monet

Road to Louveciennes, Melting Snow, Sunset (Route à Louveciennes, Neige Fondante, Soleil Couchant), painted by Claude Monet around 1869-70 captures a village road cutting between patches of thawing snow beneath a glowing winter sky. Bare trees and modest houses line the muddy lane while the setting sun washes the horizon in soft amber and rose above cool gray shadows. Monet painted this scene during the celebrated winter he spent working near Louveciennes and Bougival alongside Camille Pissarro, a season that produced some of the earliest great Impressionist snow paintings.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: c. 1869-70.
