Road from Osny to Pontoise, Hoar Frost 1873

"Road from Osny to Pontoise, Hoar Frost" is a painting by Camille Pissarro, one of the founders of Impressionism, created in 1873. The painting depicts a rural road winding through a landscape of trees and a house with a prominent chimney, suggesting a winter scene due to the hoarfrost. This Impressionist work, currently housed in the E.G. Bührle Foundation, Zürich, Switzerland, exemplifies Pissarro’s interest in capturing the fleeting effects of light and weather in the natural world. The loose brushstrokes and vibrant color palette create a sense of movement and atmosphere, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the tranquil landscape.
