This painting shows a snowy village nestled under dark, rounded hills. The houses cluster together near the bottom, their rooftops dusted with white. The sky is pale, blending into the snow-covered ground, while the hills loom in deep greys and blacks. The artist used loose, watery brushstrokes to suggest movement in the stillness—like wind blowing through the scene. The contrast between the bright snow and shadowy hills creates a quiet mood. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark for drama.
