MONET, Claude: Road to Vétheuil, Snow Effect

🖼 Road to Vétheuil, Snow Effect, 1879
Oil on canvas
61 × 82 cm
Montreal, USA

Soft brushwork captures a snow-blanketed road dissolving into pale winter light, with bare trees and distant buildings rendered as ghostly silhouettes. Monet's series paintings of Vétheuil established the modern landscape tradition, exploring how atmospheric conditions transform perception of identical scenes.
