Welcome to my art history blog. The format is simple and the purpose is to show you a piece of art, give you a little background, and leave the rest up to you. I make my own line of jewelry that can be found at www.youngestdaughter.com. Now I have added a vintage cookbook blog because I like the pictures more than anything else.

This snow scene with a lonely figure is just plain good.
Thank you for showing it.

Sisley is the only impressionist who painted snow scenes. He does not receive the recognition he deserves. Karen

Here is one more Impressionist snow scene for you.
Sisley produced some really beautiful work. He seems, however, to have been rather fond of the device of a narrow path between walls/fence, with a little figure of a woman at the bend in the path to catch the attention. The artchive's section on Sisley has two very similar examples, "Garden path in Louveciennes (Chemin de l'Etarche)", 1873, and "Snow at Louveciennes", 1874. When I was teaching art, I used to use these as examples of one-point perspective. The views are almost identical, except that the season has changed. I used to joke that it must be the same woman as well, except that she had had to change her umbrells!
