Fog 1872

"Fog" is an oil painting by Claude Monet, painted in 1872. The work depicts a landscape scene with a white house, a red roof, and a field in the foreground. The landscape is shrouded in a thin fog, with only the outlines of the buildings and trees visible. This painting exemplifies Monet's exploration of Impressionism, focusing on light and atmospheric effects to capture the fleeting moment. The soft, hazy brushstrokes and muted color palette capture the ephemeral quality of the foggy weather. "Fog" is currently in a private collection, with its intimate scale, at 76 x 48 cm, contributing to the personal and evocative nature of the painting.
