Rooftops in the Snow, Paris 1878

Gustave Caillebotte's "Rooftops in the Snow, Paris" (1878) captures a wintery Parisian scene. The painting's focus is on the rooftops of the city, covered in a fresh blanket of snow, and punctuated by tall chimneys. The artist’s unique perspective, looking down upon the cityscape, offers a fresh take on urban life in the late 19th century, showcasing both the beauty and the industrial reality of Paris. This work is a fine example of Caillebotte's Impressionist style, characterized by loose brushstrokes and a focus on light and atmosphere.
