Alfred Sisley's "Snow at Louveciennes" (1874) is a quintessential example of Impressionism, focusing on the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. The painting depicts a snow-covered road leading through a village in the French countryside, with the viewer looking down the street, where two figures are walking towards the right. The artist's signature use of short, broken brushstrokes and vibrant color creates a sense of movement and vibrancy, capturing the Impressionist approach to depicting light and weather. The artwork is a masterful example of Sisley's skill in capturing the beauty of everyday scenes, and is considered one of his most important works.
