White Frost 1875

"White Frost" is a painting by Claude Monet, a leading figure in the Impressionist movement. Created in 1875, the painting depicts a winter scene with a frozen river in the foreground and a village in the distance. Monet's signature brushstrokes, visible in the depiction of the ice, create a sense of light and movement. The painting exemplifies Impressionism's focus on capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere in a particular moment. Monet often painted en plein air, directly observing and capturing the scene before him, and "White Frost" reflects his dedication to this approach.
