Camille Pissarro painted the Marne river valley east of Paris on several occasions, drawn like many Impressionists to the quiet, unglamorous landscape of provincial France rather than fashionable resorts. "The Banks of the Marne in Winter" reflects his consistent interest in rural land under working conditions — bare trees, plowed fields, cold light — rendered with the careful tonal control that marked his early Impressionist period. Pissarro's winter landscapes helped establish snow and overcast light as serious subjects for modern painting.
