Snow at Argenteuil, painted by Claude Monet around 1874, captures a quiet village road where a late snowfall is melting into patches of white over the green fields. Modest houses and a slender church spire gather in the middle distance, framed by bare and russet trees beneath a soft grey-blue winter sky. The canvas belongs to the celebrated group of snow scenes Monet painted around his home at Argenteuil in the winter of 1874-75, studies of cold light that helped define early Impressionism.
Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1874.
