Peisaj de iarnă

About this work

This painting shows a snowy village with three small houses under a steep, rocky hill. The ground is white, but the roofs have patches of snow melting off. A few bare trees stand in the background, and the sky is pale and flat. The brushstrokes are thick in places, especially on the hillside, giving it texture. The artist used mostly muted colors—whites, grays, and browns—with just a hint of blue in the sky. If you like this style, look up *impasto* next.
