Vue de toits (Effet de neige) by Gustave Caillebotte
Painted in 1878, this work captures the snow-covered rooftops of Montmartre from a high vantage point, likely a balcony. Caillebotte’s muted palette of greys and soft pinks evokes the hush of a Parisian winter morning. Though it didn’t attract much attention at the 1879 Impressionist Exhibition, it’s now considered a landmark in urban landscape painting.
