We are in the midst of the coldest season,Winter, and it’s time to look at how some famous artists have depicted snowy landscapes.
One of a series of paintings by the artist which are held in Vienna showing a tired hunting party arriving back home to a bustling snowy scene.
This picture is part of a series of paintings which Monet painted of scenary close to his new family home.
Monet was a master of the French Winter scene painting around 140 of them. This is Monet’s largest Winter painting depicting a single magpie sat on a gate. His use of colour is very interesting in all the bluey shadows cast around in the snow.
