Claude Monet's canvas, "Lavacourt in the Snow," was painted in 1879.
Monet settled in Lavacourt, a small village on the Seine opposite Vétheuil, at the end of 1878. The winter of 1879-1880 was particularly harsh, and the artist, despite facing economic and personal difficulties, found in the snow and ice a source of inspiration. This period was characterized by an intense production of winter landscapes, including several views of Lavacourt.
The painting captures the silent and muffled atmosphere of a snowy landscape. Monet focuses on the rendering of the chromatic nuances of the snow and the sky, and on the interaction between the light and the frozen or snow-covered surfaces.
This work reflects Monet's interest in atmospheric changes and how they affect visual perception. The snow is depicted as a surface that reflects different shades of blue, gray, and even pink, depending on the light and shadows.
