Snow in Limetz (Effet de Neige à Limetz), c. 1886 by Claude Monet

Snow in Limetz (Effet de Neige à Limetz), painted by Claude Monet around 1886 looks down the main street of Limetz, a small village near Giverny, where a lone figure walks the snow patched road between frosted trees and pale cottages. Monet weaves whites, soft blues and warm earth tones into energetic brushstrokes that capture thawing snow under a heavy mauve gray winter sky. Painted shortly after the artist settled at Giverny, it belongs to his admired group of snow effect landscapes from the mid 1880s.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: c. 1886.
