PISSARRO, Camille: Snow Effect at l’Hermitage, Pontoise

🖼 Snow Effect at l’Hermitage, Pontoise, 1875
Oil on canvas
54 × 65 cm

Soft brushwork captures a snow-blanketed village beneath pale winter light, with figures trudging through drifts beside frost-covered cottages. Pissarro's delicate palette and loose technique pioneered Impressionist landscape painting, emphasizing atmosphere over precise detail.
