"Sandvika, Norway" is an oil painting by Claude Monet, created in 1895, depicting a snowy winter scene in Norway. Monet's signature style of impressionism is evident in the hazy, ethereal atmosphere and the use of short, broken brushstrokes that capture the fleeting effects of light and shadow. The pastel palette and muted color tones add to the overall sense of tranquility and peacefulness. The painting captures a moment in time, showcasing Monet's fascination with nature and the changing seasons.
