Paris in the snow 1894

"Paris in the Snow" is an oil painting by Paul Gauguin, created in 1894, now housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The painting depicts a Parisian street scene covered in snow, with a prominent bare tree in the foreground, its branches sprawling across the canvas. Gauguin's signature use of bold colors and thick brushstrokes, along with the simplified forms, contribute to the painting's distinctly expressive style. This work showcases the artist's shift from Impressionism toward a more symbolic and synthetic approach to art, exploring the relationship between nature and human experience.
