1859
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Sleighing on the Road, Brighton, near Boston is a 1859 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, depicting Ice Skating, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a horse pulling a sled through deep snow near Brighton, Massachusetts. Snow piles high on the road and roofs. The horse’s breath steams in cold air. A small figure walks beside the sled, bundled up tight. Look at how Homer paints the light on fresh snow. It’s almost blinding. See how the shadows dip under the sled’s runners?
