Winter Landscape
1876
Camille Pissarro wasn't one to stay indoors when the weather got tough; he likely painted this freezing scene right outside in the snow! You can see two peasants huddled near a large, skeletal tree, gathering wood to keep warm against the biting cold. The choppy, loose brushstrokes make the air feel almost shivering, a classic touch of the Impressionist movement that captures the shimmering light on the snow. Fun fact: Pissarro was the only artist to show his work in all eight Impressionist exhibitions, earning him the title 'the dean of the Impressionists'.
