Vetheuil in Winter 1879

Claude Monet's "Vetheuil in Winter" (1879) showcases the Impressionist master's signature style through its depiction of the French village of Vetheuil blanketed in snow. The painting features a serene landscape with a frozen river, a distant church, and a few figures in a boat, creating a sense of peace and quiet. Monet’s use of delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors captures the fleeting light and atmosphere of a winter scene, characteristic of Impressionism. The artwork, currently housed at the Frick Collection in New York, is a testament to Monet's talent for capturing the beauty of nature and the changing effects of light.
