View of Roofs (Snow Effect) or Roofs under Snow

Gustave Caillebotte's "View of Roofs (Snow Effect)" is an oil painting created during the winter of 1878–79, showcasing an Impressionist interpretation of a cityscape featuring snow-covered rooftops. The canvas measures 81 by 65 centimeters, capturing the quiet, cold atmosphere of Paris in winter. Caillebotte’s loose brushwork emphasizes light and perspective, characteristic of Impressionism, while offering a detailed and intimate view of urban life. This work has remained in public view since the artist's death, now housed at the Musée d'Orsay.
