Snow at Louveciennes is a canvas painted by Alfred Sisley in 1874, at the height of the Impressionist era. True to his taste for Parisian suburban landscapes, Sisley depicts a street in Louveciennes covered in a blanket of white. The composition is distinguished by a calm and quiet atmosphere, where the snow unifies the forms and softens the contours. The light and nuanced brushstrokes convey the variations in winter light, oscillating between gray, blue, and white. This painting perfectly illustrates Sisley's sensitivity to capture the poetry of ordinary scenes, transformed by light and climate.
