MONET, Claude: The Pond, Snow Effect

🖼 The Pond, Snow Effect, 1874-75
Oil on canvas
60.6 × 81.7 cm
Potsdam, Germany

Soft brushwork renders a snow-blanketed pond in cool blues and whites, with bare trees emerging from mist. Monet captures fleeting winter light through color rather than detail, pioneering Impressionism's radical approach to perception and atmosphere.
