Boulevard Haussmann in the Snow 1881

"Boulevard Haussmann in the Snow" (1881) by Gustave Caillebotte is a depiction of a Parisian street scene during a snowstorm. The painting, which is part of a private collection, captures the characteristic Haussmann buildings and the view from a high vantage point, possibly a window. The Impressionistic style, with its emphasis on light and atmosphere, evokes the hazy and cold ambiance of the winter day, using subtle shades of grey, blue and white. Caillebotte, known for his urban scenes, provides a glimpse into the everyday life of Paris in the late 19th century.
