Avenue de l'Opera - Effect of Snow 1898

"Avenue de l'Opera - Effect of Snow" is an oil painting by Camille Pissarro depicting the famous Parisian boulevard on a snowy day in 1898. The Impressionist painter captures the scene with a focus on the city's bustling activity, with carriages, pedestrians, and a glimpse of the Opera House in the distance. Pissarro’s characteristic short brushstrokes and use of light convey the fleeting moment and the effect of snow on the cityscape. This painting is a testament to Pissarro's dedication to Impressionism and his ability to capture the essence of urban life in the late 19th century.
