Avenue de l'Opéra, snow effect, in the morning - Camille Pissarro
Excellent
L'œuvre en bref
A wide urban avenue crosses the scene diagonally, lined with tall Haussmann-style buildings with snow-covered roofs. In the foreground, horse-drawn carriages travel along the wet pavement, while bundled-up passers-by walk between two fountains. Bare trees line the pavements. The perspective draws the eye to the end of the avenue, shrouded in a light mist.
Camille Pissarro depicts the Avenue de l'Opéra in Paris on a winter morning, under a blanket of melting snow. The colours are cold and dull, dominated by ochres, greys and touches of white. The brushstrokes are visible, applied in short, tight strokes, suggesting the hustle and bustle of traffic and the diffuse morning light. The artist captures a moment of everyday life in Paris with precision, combining urban observation and changing atmosphere.
