Murol in the Snow is a 1920 unspecified by Victor Charreton, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a quiet village covered in snow. The rooftops are white and sloped, with one roof leaning unevenly. Below, small houses have dark wooden shutters and simple windows. A bare tree stands in the middle, its branches twisted against the gray sky. The colors are muted—whites, grays, and soft browns—with just a hint of green in the distance. The artist used thick, textured brushstrokes to show the snow’s weight on the buildings. It looks almost like the paint itself is heavy, as if you could reach in and feel the cold. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
