The Seine at Port Villez, Snow Effect 1885

"The Seine at Port-Villez, Snow Effect" (1885) by Claude Monet, is a quintessential Impressionist painting. This work captures the serene beauty of a snowy landscape with a focus on light and color. Monet's signature brushstrokes are visible throughout the painting, especially in the depiction of the snow-covered hills and the shimmering water of the Seine River. The light, airy atmosphere and the use of soft, muted colors create a sense of tranquility and suggest the fleeting moment captured by Monet.
