The Cour d'Albane, Grey Weather 1892

Claude Monet’s "The Cour d'Albane, Grey Weather" (1892) captures the essence of Impressionism through its depiction of a Parisian courtyard under a cloudy sky. The artist's signature brushstrokes, visible in the depiction of the stone buildings and the diffuse light, imbue the scene with a sense of movement and fleeting atmosphere. The muted tones of the painting contribute to the overall feeling of somberness, yet the subtle interplay of light and shadow reveals Monet's mastery of capturing the delicate nuances of a cloudy day.
