Piette's House in Montfoucault, Snow Effect - Camille Pissarro
Excellent
L'œuvre en bref
A half-hidden house stands in the centre of a snowy landscape. It is surrounded by bare trees and snow-covered bushes. The scene is calm, frozen in the silence of winter. In the foreground, a white-covered path winds slightly to the right. The sky is pale grey, heavy with moisture, with no direct source of light.
Camille Pissarro paints here the house of his friend Ludovic Piette in Montfoucault, in the middle of winter. The palette is limited: shades of white, blue-grey and beige. The forms are soft, treated with broad, visible brushstrokes. The contours are blurred, reflecting the diffusion of light in the cold atmosphere. The artist takes care to convey the effect of frost and the density of the air. This painting demonstrates his attention to seasonal landscapes, his sensitivity to climatic variations and his interest in familiar places.
