Snow-covered road with house, surroundings of Eragny
1885
Step into a chilly French winter morning with Camille Pissarro, who painted this snowy scene near his home in Eragny in 1885. Notice how the paint is applied in thick, chunky layers? That's the Impressionist technique called impasto, which gives the snow a wonderful, crunchy texture you can almost feel. A lone figure and a cart make their way down the road, highlighting the quiet solitude of the countryside.
