Quai Saint-Bernard sous la neige, Paris 1882 - 1887

"Quai Saint-Bernard sous la neige, Paris" is an oil painting by Armand Guillaumin, a prominent French artist known for his association with the Impressionist movement. The painting depicts a snowy scene along the Quai Saint-Bernard in Paris, France, capturing the winter landscape and the subtle interplay of light and shadow. This work showcases Guillaumin's signature style, characterized by bold brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the fleeting beauty of nature. His use of vibrant colors, particularly the cool blues and whites of the snow, creates a sense of tranquility and depth. The scene, with its lone figures and distant buildings, invites contemplation of the urban landscape and its transformation under the winter's touch.
