About this work

This painting shows a snowy rooftop scene with bare trees and buildings covered in white. The foreground has a small wooden shed with a thick layer of snow on its roof, and a few birds perched on the edge. In the background, you can see more houses and two tall church towers rising above the city. The artist used bold colors—deep reds and browns for the buildings—to make the snow look even brighter. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured feel. If you like this style, check out impasto next.
