Vetheuil, Ice Floes 1881

This Impressionist painting by Claude Monet, created in 1881, depicts the village of Vetheuil, France, blanketed in snow with a frozen river in the foreground. Monet's signature style of brushstrokes and color interplay is evident, capturing the fleeting light and atmosphere of the winter scene. The painting exemplifies Monet's fascination with capturing natural phenomena, particularly the interplay of light and color on water, and the effects of winter on landscapes.
