The Boulevard de Pontoise at Argenteuil, Snow Effect (Effet de Neige), 1875 by Claude Monet

The Boulevard de Pontoise at Argenteuil, Snow Effect (Effet de Neige), painted by Claude Monet in 1875 depicts a broad snow covered boulevard in Argenteuil, where small figures stroll between garden walls, bare winter trees and snow dusted rooftops under a heavy gray sky. Monet renders the melting snow, wet road and cold air with muted whites, grays and soft browns, capturing the hushed atmosphere of a winter afternoon. One of the artist’s celebrated snow effect paintings from his Argenteuil years, the canvas now hangs in the Kunstmuseum Basel.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1875.
