Snow scene - the Haunted House, is a 1848 oil by Georg Emil Libert, a German Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting depicts a serene winter scene, with a large, imposing house standing in the center. The house is constructed from brown stone and features a white roof, surrounded by a frozen river that dominates the foreground. In the distance, a few bare trees and bushes are visible, set against a backdrop of a cloudy blue sky. The artist has skillfully captured the tranquility of the winter landscape, with the snow-covered ground and frozen river creating a sense of stillness. The house, with its sturdy stone walls and white roof, appears as a warm and welcoming refuge from the cold.
