Description
While many of Claude Monet’s Impressionist works feature reflections in nature, Floating Ice Near Vetheuil created in 1880 shows a different side of the painter. The starkness of winter is seen in the ice chunks floating on the surface of the water, breaking up the reflections in a choppy way. However, the warmth of the glowing sun and surrounding landscape signals hope and life, as though spring is just days away. It’s a slightly different look than Monet’s many lush landscapes, making it especially interesting for fans of this famous artist.
