Camille Pissarro lived in Louveciennes, west of Paris, in the early 1870s, and its roads and rooftops under snow became one of his signature subjects, admired for capturing the particular grey-violet light of an overcast winter day. "Snow at Louveciennes" reflects the Impressionists' shared fascination with painting snow — a challenge earlier academic painters had largely avoided — using broken brushwork to render the subtle color variations within apparently uniform white. Pissarro's Louveciennes years were cut short when the Franco-Prussian War forced him to flee to London in 1870.
