Snow Scene at Argenteuil

"Snow Scene at Argenteuil" is an oil-on-canvas landscape painting by the Impressionist master Claude Monet. It is the largest of his eighteen works depicting Argenteuil during the winter of 1874–1875, a time when the town was blanketed in snow. Unlike his smaller paintings, Monet simplifies details with broad areas of blue and grey, applying small strokes of green, yellow, red, and darker blue to create visual interest and cohesion. The thickly applied paint in the road emphasizes the texture of snow, showcasing Monet’s characteristic Impressionism style that captures fleeting scenes through bold color and dynamic brushwork.
